Family seeks answers following 2020 Tioga-Nicetown murder

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It has been six years since a 21-year-old man was shot and killed outside a store in Philadelphia.

Now, the search continues for his killer.

Quadir Sheaff was trying to help out a sick family member when an altercation inside a Tioga-Nicetown store turned violent.

"My son was going to the store for my sister because she wasn't feeling well. He was actually going to get her medication," says Sheaff's mother.

He was shot and killed after leaving the store along the 4300 block of North 15th Street on November 2nd, 2020 just before 8 p.m.

He was rushed to Temple University Hospital where he died minutes later.

"There's been a lot of violent crimes in the community. And a lot of unsolved homicides. It's time for that to change. A lot of families are broken. It's a never ending cycle," Sheaff's mother says.

Police still have no suspects or persons of interest in this case.

The reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction has been raised to $50,000 dollars.

"I would finally get to know what happened. I would finally feel like justice has been served."

If you have any information that can help, you are urged to call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS.

All calls will reman anonymous.
