PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The family of a 25-year-old man who was shot and killed in East Mount Airy is seeking justice, 20 years after his murder.
“He was my best friend. Someone I could always confide in. It won’t be a chapter where that he didn’t matter. It’s a case that stayed open and he doesn’t matter. That’s the part that weighs heavy on me. He matters, he was a person, he was here. He left his mark on this world. He was loved,” says Natasha Lucien.
Jason Lucien’s family is still trying to come to terms with their loss, nearly 20 years after his shocking death.
Lucien was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the driveway of a home on the 6400 block of Belfield Avenue on May 14th, 2007.
“Not knowing why, who. It’s heart breaking,” says Natasha.
Lucien’s sister says that they still don’t know what happened that day.
She says his wallet was taken, but the family still doesn’t know if the motive was robbery.
“We’re hoping that the person or persons that are responsible find it in their hearts to come in, to come forward and to take accountability so that we can have closure. We just want justice for our brother.”
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the death of Jason Lucien.
