Jason Marcial, a 32-year-old Black male, was fatally shot in Philadelphia on April 29, 2016. The incident occurred at approximately 2:20 p.m. on the 1400 block of North 4th Street. When Philadelphia Police Officers arrived at the scene, they found Jason suffering from a gunshot wound. He was immediately transported to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries later that afternoon.
Investigators determined that Jason had been involved in an argument with a Black
male in a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a Toyota, shortly before the shooting. The confrontation escalated, leading to gunfire. Reports indicate that Jason was arguing with two men in the vehicle, who then followed him to North 4th Street, opened fire, and fled the scene. Authorities have not publicly identified the suspects, and no arrests have been reported in connection with the case.
Jason Marcial was a resident of the 1200 block of North Leithgow Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His death remains an unsolved homicide, and law enforcement officials continue to seek information from the public. A reward of $20,000 has been offered for any details leading to the arrest and conviction of one or both suspects. The Philadelphia Police Department urges anyone with relevant information to contact their Homicide Division or call 911.
