This is my first time posting but I figure this is as important a reason I will ever get to submit something:

My friend Kevin was shot in the neck during a robbery in Northern Liberties on November 15th. He is still in critical condition. His spine was shattered and the fear of him becoming a quadraplegic is almost certain.

If anyone has any information, please please please let the detectives know. Also, Kevin's usual route home from the Piazza (where he was) is down 2nd street, right on Brown St, and left on Bodine Street. He lives on the corner of Fairmount and Bodine. If anyone along the way has cameras, please let the detectives know. Thank you.

Police Report: Please be advised that last night, Tuesday, 11/15/11, 2:46 AM, 6th District police responded to 911 calls of a person shot in the 700 block N. Bodine St. Upon arrival, police found a local resident lying on the ground outside 714 N. Bodine with a gunshot wound to the neck. Fire Medic unit #15 transported the victim to Hahnemann Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Police were able to ascertain from the victim that he was walking home after going to a local bar to get something to eat, drink and watch the Monday Night football game. On the way home he was confronted by an armed male during an apparent hold up and was shot. The offender was described only as a short black male who fled south on Bodine St. Central Detective Division is investigating and is looking for possible video cameras in the area that may have captured the incident, victim or offender. Any information may be called into the Special Investigations Unit ,at 215-686-3047 or Central Detective Division at 215-686-3093, or 3094.

EDIT: NBC has released a picture and video of the suspect: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Northern-Liberties-Shooting-Caught-Camera-134079493.html
