18-year-old Aquill Foster shot, killed during summer car ride on Ritner Street with his brother in South Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Two brothers were driving their car in South Philadelphia one summer evening. But the ride took a tragic turn when the couple was shot at and one of them was killed.

Authorities are hoping someone can come forward with a tip that will help resolve this case.

Aquill Foster, 18, was a passenger in the car on the night of Tuesday June 21.

At 11:45 p.m., Foster’s brother drove them down the 600 block of Ritner Street. At that time, the police were called to report a person with a weapon.

“In the vehicle was a man who was later identified as Mr Foster. He was shot,” said Santo Montecalvo of the Citizens Crime Commission.

Paramedics took him to the hospital, where he died at 1:18 am. His brother was unharmed.

At the scene, officers recovered 12 9mm cartridge cases.

“We at the Citizens Crime Commission have a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who committed this crime,” Montecalvo said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls remain anonymous.
