The Philadelphia Police Department is seeking the assistance of the public to solve the homicide of a young woman, which took place in June of last year. On the night of June 23, 2024, police found the body of Anastasiya Stangret, a 22-year-old Caucasian female, on the 4700 block of Griscom Street. According to the Philadelphia Police Department's release, the decedent had a single gunshot wound to the head and was in an advanced state of decomposition when discovered.
The investigation revealed that Stangret was last recorded on video footage days before she was found deceased, near Penn and Arrott Streets in Philadelphia's Frankford section. The City of Philadelphia has issued a reward of $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible for this crime. This incentive underscores the city's commitment to bringing justice for the victim and her family, and, to this aim, the Philadelphia Police are extending their reach to gather any useful leads from the community.
Authorities have not described a suspect at this time, but continue to encourage anyone with information relevant to the case to come forward. An image of Annie Stangret, shared by officials, underscores the reality of a life cut tragically short and a community shaken by violence.
The Philadelphia Police Department has made available a video related to the incident, although it lacks audio, on their YouTube channel. Potential witnesses or those with information are urged to call the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334/3335. Detectives on the case, Det. Bova #9228 and Det. Coulter #9208 can be reached regarding DC 24-15-049080. Tips can also be submitted electronically or via telephone at 215.686.TIPS (8477), with assurances of confidentiality for those coming forward.
As the year draws to a close, Stangret's case remains a sobering reminder of the unsolved crimes that persist within the city. The Philadelphia Police Department has appealed not just to the conscience, but also to the civic spirit of Philadelphia's residents, hoping that collective effort may shed light where there is darkness. In the words of the police notice, "If you see this suspect do not approach, contact 911 immediately."
