PHILADELPHIA — It
was a bloody day in Phil-
adelphia: five people shot
or stabbed dead. One of the
shooting victims was Trina
Singleton’s 24-year-old son,
Darryl.
In this city of 1.6 million
people that tallied 269 homi-
cides last year, Darryl’s death
on Sept. 13, 2016, earned
him a few lines near the end
of a newspaper story, his loss
overshadowed by the death
of a 21-year-old cousin of rap
star Meek Mill.
“He was totally over-
looked,” Trina Singleton
said. “There were so many
people shot that day, he was
a number.”
Now a new website is
working to show that Darryl
and victims like him are
more than statistics. Since the
Philadelphia Obituary Project
went live in June, it has posted
more than 30 in-depth obitu-
aries of city homicide victims
from the past 18 months.
“We want to talk about the
lives of the people, not their
deaths. To dignify them. To
humanize them,” said Cletus
Lyman, a city lawyer who
has spent more than $10,000
to fund the project. “We want
to complete the picture and
show the community that
we’re losing real people.”
Lyman grew up in a small
Pennsylvania town reading
obituaries,
everyone’s
obituaries, because in a
town that size, every citizen
was considered worthy of
coverage. As an adult, he
found himself frustrated by
the way the deaths, especially
of those who met violent
ends, were covered.
Lyman found Albert
Stumm, a former Associated
Press editor who is now a
freelancer based in Spain, to

In this Thursday, Dec. 21 photo, Trina Singleton poses for a photograph in Collingda-
le, Pa., with a photograph of her eldest son Darryl who was murdered. The Philadel-
phia Obituary Project, a new website, is working to show that homicide victims in
Philadelphia are more than statistics.
manage the site’s content.
“This is an unapologeti-
cally positive effort because
there’s a lot of victim-
blaming that goes around,”
Stumm said. “Yes, many
victims have gotten into
trouble before they got killed.
But how they got there is less
important to us than who they
were.”
The
obituaries
will
include information about a
victim’s criminal past if the
family chooses to talk about
it, Stumm said. In instances
where a known violent
offender is killed, the website
won’t seek further details,
he said, noting a founder
of the Junior Black Mafia,
which terrorized the city for
decades, was not profiled
after his murder in December
2016.
Stumm said he didn’t
know of any other similarly
broad private efforts, though
he pointed out that some
news organizations have tried
to write about all homicide
victims in a given time period.
Obituaries are part of
the ritual of grieving, said
Frank Farley, an educational
psychology professor at Phil-
adelphia’s Temple University.
“We memorialize because
we ourselves hope to be
memorialized,” Farley said.
“For many, the fear of disap-
pearing from life with no
notation, nothing noted, is a
very grim thing.”
With newspapers having
less space and fewer staff,
it’s more likely that homicide
victims won’t receive the due
they had been given in years
past, although grieving loved
ones can always pay to put a
death notice in the newspaper.
Typically, newspapers write
articles about the deaths of
only well-known locals and
other public figures.
When the Philadelphia
Obituary Project’s reporters
began contacting the families
of homicide victims last year,
some were hesitant. Then the
effort began to get traction.
The tribute to Darryl
Singleton in the Philadelphia
Obituary Project notes he
attended crime-scene inves-
tigation camp in Baltimore
one summer and was taking
classes to be an emergency
medical technician. It shares
his paternal grandmother’s
remembrance of the summers
he and his brother spent at her
home in Georgia and the trips
they made to local nursing
homes, where Darryl would
sing songs like “I Believe I
Can Fly.”
These good memories,
Trina Singleton said, have
helped the family mourn.
“We’re talking about what
he accomplished, so his life
isn’t summed up by some
gunshots,” she said. “That’s
important for us as we go
forward.”
