Tymir Johnson

Tymir Johnson was a 23-year-old Philadelphia resident whose life was closely tied to the neighborhoods he called home. Known in public records as living on Elbridge Street, Tymir was part of the city's younger generation — a neighbor, friend, and member of the local community whose day-to-day life included the ordinary rhythms of family, friends, and neighborhood ties.

Public accounts identify Tymir by his age and place in the city; they record him as a young man of 23 whose life unfolded in Philadelphia. While detailed personal tributes or a family-published obituary have not been located in publicly available sources, news reporting and community memorial projects acknowledge him among those the city lost in late 2021.

On December 15, 2021, Tymir died after being shot on the 3100 block of Barnett Street in the Mayfair area of Northeast Philadelphia. He was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where he did not survive. The loss of someone so young touched his community and is remembered in local memorial efforts that aim to honor lives affected by gun violence.

Though public records about Tymir’s hobbies, work, or extended family are limited or not published, his inclusion in community obituary projects and local reporting shows he was more than a line in a news item — he was a real person whose life mattered to people who knew him. This remembrance acknowledges the limits of the public record while honoring Tymir as an individual: a young Philadelphian whose life and presence resonated with family, friends, and neighbors. May those who loved him find comfort in memories and in the care of their community.
