Nearly two years after a June 1, 2024 shooting in Cobbs Creek that left one man dead and three others wounded, investigators and local crime-fighting groups are once again turning up the volume on their call for tips. The late-night gunfire erupted on the 900 block of South 58th Street, and police say the shooter is still out there.
John Appledorn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission, said the commission has put up a $20,000 reward and that investigators recovered six .40-caliber shell casings at the scene. "This happened on Saturday June 1st, 2024 happened at 10:30 p.m.," Appledorn told Action News, urging anyone with information to come forward, as reported by 6abc.
Victim and injuries
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, 23-year-old Keion Fisher was shot multiple times and later died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Three other victims - a man and two women, all about 20 - were treated at Penn Presbyterian and survived their wounds, the outlet reported.
Reward, tips and anonymity
The Citizens Crime Commission says the $20,000 reward is aimed at sparking new leads and stresses that callers can remain anonymous. The group lists its tipline as 215-546-TIPS (8477), according to the Citizens Crime Commission.
Two years on: how this fits a bigger picture
The June 1 shooting came during a weekend that saw several other shootings across Philadelphia, even as overall homicide totals were down year-over-year at the time, The Philadelphia Inquirer noted. Unsolved cases like this one remain a priority for neighborhood safety groups and the commission as they continue to push for community cooperation.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS (8477). Callers can remain anonymous, and tips can also be submitted online, according to the Citizens Crime Commission. Officials say even the smallest detail could help investigators piece together what happened on South 58th Street.
