Crime Fighters 6abc: Tre’Von Beasley was shot months ago outside his girlfriend’s house in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A young man visiting his girlfriend in the Mantua neighborhood of Philadelphia was gunned down in front of her home months ago.

Now his mother hopes that the public can help find his killer.

Chandra Beasley describes her son Tre’Von Beasley in one word: awesome.

“He was a great son, a great brother, a great friend and a wonderful father,” she said. “He was just a great person.”

The 25-year-old plumber lived in Delaware but was in Philadelphia on the night of May 30.

“He had a girlfriend who lived in Philadelphia, and the only reason he ever went to that area was to be with his girlfriend,” Chandra said.

At 10:35 p.m., Philadelphia Housing Authority police heard gunshots in the 3800 block of Brown Street, where Beasley’s girlfriend lived.

When they arrived at the scene, they found Beasley with numerous gunshot wounds.

“My son, Tre’Von’s twin brother, got the call. I was right next to him. He said he had been shot and was being taken to the hospital,” Chandra recalled.

Beasley died a short time later. His mother said nothing was taken from him.

“He was not robbed. He had his truck keys, a cell phone and his wallet with him,” she noted.

The City of Philadelphia is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

All you have to do is call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls remain anonymous.

“Step forward. This is the right thing to do. Tre’Von deserves justice and his family and friends deserve closure,” Chandra said.
