Stephen Wilson, a 21-year-old Black male from Philadelphia, was shot and killed on Sunday night, December 26, 2010, inside the Blumberg Apartments, a Philadelphia Housing Authority high-rise complex on Judson Way near Jefferson Street in North Philadelphia. Wilson lived in the building, and what began as an ordinary night inside the apartment complex ended in violence in one of its stairwells.
Police said Wilson was shot multiple times between the ninth and tenth floors at about 7:50 p.m. He was found in the stairwell and pronounced dead at the scene. The location of the shooting suggests he was attacked inside the building where he lived, away from the street and within the shared space of the high-rise.
