Mustafa Small, aged 30, was shot and killed on April 1, 2016, in Philadelphia. At approximately 3:56 p.m., Philadelphia Police responded to a report of a shooting at the 2200 block of West Indiana Avenue. They found Mustafa lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was rushed to Temple University Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries that same afternoon.
Mustafa was described as a loving son, brother, and father.
He was known for his sense of humor and passion for sports. His family remembered him as a hardworking man who cherished his loved ones and embraced life fully. His sudden and tragic death has left a significant void for those who knew him.
Mustafa lived on the 2800 block of North Ringold Street in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, as of now, his homicide remains unsolved, and the Philadelphia Police Department continues to urge anyone with information about the incident to come forward by contacting their tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477). The case is part of the city's broader struggle with unsolved violent crimes, and bringing closure to Mustafa's family is still an important goal for law enforcement.
