At the Philadelphia Obituary Project, we treat homicide victims as individuals rather than statistics. But we are in crisis. The number of people murdered continues to rise, and so every month, we will share this data along with the names of each person in one post.
Philadelphia police responded to 48 homicides in October. Here are the names and ages of the people killed last month, plus when and where. But we know they are not just names. Please contact us at [email protected] if you are a family member so we can properly memorialize them. Lists from previous months can be found here.
