On Friday afternoon, July 8, 2022, 25-year-old Khalid Jesse Brittingham was shot and killed in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, during a funeral procession for a Philadelphia homicide victim. Brittingham was riding in a vehicle with 21-year-old Tyrese Long when another car pulled alongside on Marshall Road near Powell Lane and opened fire. Both men were struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene around 1 p.m.

Upper Darby police called the attack a targeted ambush, saying the victims were deliberately followed and shot as they crossed into Upper Darby from Philadelphia while en route to the Friends Southwestern Burial Ground. Investigators canvassed witnesses from the procession, searched for surveillance video and released photos of a man they wanted to identify and speak with in connection to the double homicide.

Despite the public appeal and ongoing investigation with Philadelphia police, no arrests have been announced and the case remained unsolved as of early 2026. If anyone who was on the procession route or nearby that day has information or saw the suspect vehicle, please come forward.
