On a Friday night in Philadelphia, the sound of gunshots pierced the air on the 1300 block of West Clearfield Street. It was 11:11 p.m. on May 9, 2014, when Philadelphia Police officers responded to the disturbance. There, they discovered 27-year-old Rashaun Lewis, a Black male, seated in the driver's seat of his white Dodge Avenger. He had been shot multiple times.
The officers quickly transported Lewis to Temple University Hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he succumbed to them that same night. Lewis resided on the same block where he was tragically killed.
As of now, the murder of Rashaun Lewis remains an unsolved case. The Philadelphia Police Department continues to seek information from the public that might lead to the apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for his death. No suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting is ongoing.
