PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — It has been nearly a year since a young man was shot and killed in the city’s Strawberry Mansion neighborhood.<\/p>\n
“I loved him to death, he was my middle son. It’s a very hard loss, very hard loss,” says Jonathan Grandy.<\/p>\n
24-year-old Zachary Grandy was gunned down in broad daylight on the 2900 block of West Gordon Street on October 6th, 2025.<\/p>\n
“He walked around the corner because his car was messed up to talk to a mechanic, there’s a garage around the corner. When he came back, he was ambushed,” says Grandy.<\/p>\n
Police found more than 50 gunshell casings at the scene.<\/p>\n
It was just before noon when the violence broke out.<\/p>\n
Zachary’s father believes there may have been two gunmen involved.<\/p>\n
The search for those responsible still goes on.<\/p>\n
“I would love someone to come forward and give information. Just come forward. It’s a loss of life that didn’t need to be lost. Didn’t need to be lost,” says Grandy.<\/p>\n
There is a $20,000 reward being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the shooting death of Zachery Grandy.<\/p>\n
