Kashif Love, 33, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on August 22, 2022, outside a property on the 1000 block of Ward Street. He was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the head; the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Investigators identified three suspects: Damar Macklin, Alexandra Watford, and Mahamadou Barrett. Macklin was taken into custody shortly after the shooting; arrest warrants were issued for Watford and Barrett. Multiple 9 mm cartridge casings were recovered at the scene. Video surveillance reportedly shows Watford and Barrett walking toward 10th and Ward streets shortly before the shooting. Barrett is alleged to have begun firing at Love and Macklin allegedly joined the shooting as Love tried to flee; the suspects then left in separate vehicles.

In December 2023 Alexandra Watford, 27, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and conspiracy in connection with Love’s death and is scheduled for sentencing on February 28, 2024. Macklin, 22, and Barrett, 29, are awaiting trial on charges that include first- and third-degree murder, conspiracy, and firearms offenses. If anyone has information about the shooting or the movements of the people involved that night, please share it with investigators.
