Khayree Warren, a 28-year-old Black male, was shot in Philadelphia on the night of Friday, July 29, 2016, on the 3500 block of North 21st Street. Police officers were called to the scene at about 8:50 p.m. and found him lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. In the urgent moments after they arrived, officers placed him in a patrol vehicle and rushed him to Temple University Hospital, trying to get him medical help as quickly as possible.
Despite those efforts, Warren did not survive, and he died on Saturday, July 30, 2016.
Warren had lived on the 5800 block of Arch Street in Philadelphia. The public police case summary does not describe what led to the shooting, whether Warren had been targeted, or whether anyone saw the gunman flee. The account leaves the picture of a sudden street shooting in North Philadelphia: officers arriving after gunfire, finding Warren badly wounded in the roadway, and making the decision to transport him themselves rather than wait.
Available online case records do not identify any suspect or suspects in Warren’s killing. The Philadelphia Police Department’s unsolved-murders page describes the case as unsolved and asks anyone with information to contact detectives, while a separate Philadelphia murder-tracking page lists the case status as “Open/No arrest.” Based on the available online sources reviewed, there is no public record of an arrest, filed charges, trial, conviction, or sentencing connected to Warren’s death.
