Seventeenth District officers found John Fisher, 26, from the 1500 block of South 24th Street near Dickinson Street, lying on his back with multiple wounds to his face and body. This was reported by Officer Tanya Little of the Police Public Affairs Unit. Fisher was taken to Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he died at 12:25 a.m. Friday.

It’s Saturday, May 30, 2009. Rep. Johnson is greeted by innocent bystanders who are community organizers, public safety officers who all care about the out-of-control gun violence throughout Philly. But on this particular day, Rep. Johnson wants to send a clear and present message that together with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter gun violence will be reduced.


State Representative,
Kenyatta Johnson,
D-Philadelphia, 186.


Kenyatta Johnson and Michael Nutter went shaking hands of neighbors who were excited to have caring dignitaries stroll along the blocks that have been most recently struck with incidents of handgun violence.

As reported by police minutes recently a 26-year-old was gunned down on a Point Breeze Street. Unfortunately, police are still searching for his killer. Seventeenth Police District officers were among the first to greet Rep. Johnson and Mayor Nutter as both legislators are viewed as leaders for social justice.

Interestingly, members of the Point Breeze Business Association were among the second to greet Rep. Johnson. Long before Mayor Nutter arrived on Saturday, May 30th, Rep. Johnson had addressed the matter of anti-violence. It was addressed for the Point Breeze Business Association who had concerns about abandoned properties, tax issues, low income housing and how to get 1 dollar houses from the city.

It would be a positive walk through for Rep. Johnson, Mayor Nutter, and the Point Breeze Business Association as all the business and community groups established in the Point Breeze boundaries could enjoy some needed encouragement about a healthy economy and a healthy environment.

Both Rep. Johnson and Mayor Nutter are eager to support any process that would help kids who live in the Point Breeze Street area. They want to do as much as they can for youth before they wind up in the criminal justice system... or dead in the street. The Saturday street walk will be good to let people know that the necessary services the Point Breeze Association have been asking for are not being ignored. And also that in due time State Representative Kenyatta Johnson shall find a solid way to help see to it that crime rates start to be reduced very visibly in the South Philly Point Breeze Street sector of the city.
