On Wednesday, Aug. 14 at approximately 7 p.m., police from the 1st District responded to a call about a person with a gun at 1500 Snyder Avenue.
Upon arrival, they found 25-year-old Kaishef Johnson, a resident of the 2200 block of South 22nd Street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Medic 11 at 7:08 p.m.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was riding a bicycle on the 1500 block of Snyder Avenue when three unknown males, dressed in all black with masks and gloves, exited a burgundy Nissan parked on Snyder Avenue at 15th Street.
The suspects approached the victim and all three appeared to fire shots, striking him multiple times. The offenders then fled eastbound on Snyder Avenue towards Broad Street in the same vehicle. Later that evening, at approximately 11 p.m. officers from the 3rd District found the vehicle unattended at 2000 S. Front Street.
