PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — It’s been more than three years since a young man was shot and killed in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
The search for his killer continues.<\/p>\n
“The last day that we saw each other we spent time with each other. Our words to each other was I love you, mom,” says Patricia Williams.<\/p>\n
Williams fondly remembers her son, Gerren Cream.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old was shot and killed just after midnight along the 4300 block of Lawndale Street in the city’s Juniata section back on March 4th, 2023.<\/p>\n
He died just 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n
However, because he had no identification on him at the time, police were not able to contact his family for several days.<\/p>\n
It was only after his mother filed a missing person’s report that she learned of Gerren’s murder.<\/p>\n
“I would like this to end. I don’t know if this person has a conscience, I just would like this to be over,” says Williams.<\/p>\n
Gerren’s mom is hoping someone comes forward with information on what happened that fateful night.<\/p>\n
“If they want the money, come get the money. I just would really like for an arrest or conviction to happen,” says Williams.<\/p>\n
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.<\/p>\n
The number to call is 215-546-TIPS.<\/p>\n
All calls will reman anonymous.<\/p>\n
