A 23-year-old man was convicted of first-degree murder for shooting a 20-year-old man and burning his body, because he didn’t want people to know he was in a relationship with the victim. Kylen Pratt was sentenced to life in prison for killing CHAD High School graduate Naasire Johnson who was about to begin community college. On February 17. 2022, Johnson left his West Philadelphia home and met Pratt at a residence in the 2900 block W. Oxford Street.
There, they found a large bleach stain, cleaning producer, and blood on the ceiling, back of a door, and underneath a carpet. They also recovered a weapon that was consistent with the bullet used to kill Johnson.Investigators also obtained cellphone records that showed the two were at the home together on the day of the murder and that Pratt was at Fairmount Park Feb. 19 and Feb. 20.
