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, even during the pandemic. And so every month, we will share this data along with the names of each person in one post.
Philadelphia Police responded to 48 murders in June 2022, including the shooting on June 4 that claimed the lives of three people at 3rd and South. On another particularly deadly weekend, June 16 through June 19, there were 13 people killed throughout the city.
Here are the names and ages of those who were killed, 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.
