Robert Whitmore, a 39-year-old Black male, died in Philadelphia after an assault on April 26, 2009, with his death recorded the next day, April 27, 2009. The publicly available homicide listing places him on the 1500 block of North Broad Street, a busy stretch of the city where everyday movement, traffic, and neighborhood life would have continued around the scene of a sudden and violent loss.
The online information available about Whitmore’s death is sparse.
His name appears among Philadelphia’s 2009 homicide victims, with the record noting the date he was assaulted, the date he died, his age, and the block where he was found. The listing does not provide a detailed narrative of what happened before the assault, whether he was shot, stabbed, beaten, or killed by another specified method, and it does not describe witnesses, a motive, or the circumstances that brought him to that location.
No reliable online source located identifies a suspect or suspects in Robert Whitmore’s death. The available records also do not show an arrest connected to his killing, and no public court records, news reports, conviction notices, or sentencing information were found tying any named person to the case. Based on the available online information, his homicide appears to remain without a publicly documented resolution.
What remains in the public record is a narrow but stark outline: Robert Whitmore was assaulted late in April 2009, died the following day, and became one of the many homicide victims recorded in Philadelphia that year. Without a named suspect, arrest, conviction, or sentence appearing in accessible online sources, the case is left largely in silence, with only the date, place, and his name marking the public trail of what happened.
