Maurice Wide, a 25-year-old Black male from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, died on May 23, 2016, after being shot in Philadelphia. The available online record of his death is brief, leaving behind only the stark outline of a young man’s life ending violently in a city that was already struggling with persistent gun violence that year.
The public details do not provide a fuller scene of what happened before the shooting, whether Maurice was targeted, whether there was an argument or confrontation, or whether police believed more than one person was involved. The records available online do not identify a specific block, neighborhood, motive, weapon recovery, witness account, or sequence of events leading up to the gunfire.
No publicly available online information was found identifying an arrest in Maurice Wide’s death. No named suspect or suspects were located in the accessible records, and there were no public details showing that charges were filed against anyone in connection with the case.
