On a grim Halloween night in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood, what should have been an evening of festive celebration turned into a scene of violence that claimed the life of 39-year-old Gregory Kevin Lee. The shooting occurred on October 31, 2024, at the corner of Arrott and Leiper streets.
That evening, Gregory Kevin Lee was with a 37-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman when an assailant approached them and fired at least a dozen shots. Lee was struck in the back and leg.
He was transported by police to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 10 p.m. The other two victims were also taken to the hospital; the man was in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his chest and leg, while the woman was in stable condition after being shot in the leg.
Authorities believe that Gregory Kevin Lee may have been the intended target of the attack. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and as of now, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Philadelphia Police Department is actively seeking information from the public and has offered a $20,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.
