Shaquille Dixon, 29, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed inside the KNF Market on Third Street on May 4, 2022, around 10:15 a.m. Police say Dixon was found lying on the floor with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene after medical personnel arrived.

Authorities identified 19-year-old Muhammad Z. McBride as the shooter. Witnesses and store surveillance reportedly showed McBride, wearing a red and black North Face jacket, draw a handgun and fire at Dixon while Dixon lay on the floor with his hands up. McBride turned himself in the next day and was charged with criminal homicide, murder in the first and third degree, possessing an instrument of crime with intent, and carrying a firearm without a license.

McBride later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and possessing a firearm without a license as part of a negotiated plea; the other charges were dismissed, and McBride was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison in January 2024. During sentencing Dixon’s sister described the deep impact of his death and her ongoing struggle to forgive. Anyone with information about Dixon or the incident is asked to come forward.
