Chester, Pa. man shot and killed after argument; suspect at large

CHESTER, Pa. (WPVI) — A 35-year-old man was shot and killed Thursday morning in Chester, Pennsylvania, leaving neighbors shaken and police searching for the person responsible.

Karen Tate said she was distraught to learn her neighbor, whom she described as respectful and kind, had been the victim.

“He was a loving young guy and he was very, very respectful,” Tate said.

She added that he was “very helpful” to her.

“Every time he would see me outside, he would always say, ‘You all right? You ok? Do you need me to do anything?’” she continued.

Police said the man was shot around 9 a.m. on Wilson Street near the corner of 3rd Street. He was struck twice in the chest and once in the leg.

“Nine a.m., the last thing you think you’re going to get is a shooting, especially down this area,” Chester Police Commissioner Katrina Blackwell said.

Investigators said several witnesses were nearby. Officers responded quickly, but a suspect fled before they arrived.

Police said the shooter left in a black Dodge Caravan.

As some officers searched for the vehicle, others transported the victim to Christiana Hospital. Police said he died from his injuries.

Blackwell said the shooting began as an argument, though the motive remains under investigation.

“For an argument to turn to someone being shot, we have to do better, we have to use some emotional intelligence and a life is not worth an argument. A life is never worth an argument,” she said.

Those who knew the victim are grieving what they call a senseless loss.

“We’ve lost a lot, I’ve lost, and I know a lot of people that have lost and it’s senseless. It’s totally senseless,” Tate said.

Sources said police tracked down the vehicle believed to be involved, but no arrests have been made.
