On a Monday evening in Philadelphia’s Queen Village, 42-year-old Raymond Lighty of Upper Darby was sitting in his gray minivan on the 900 block of South 4th Street to pick up or drop off his daughters. Two teenage daughters, 13 and 16, were inside the vehicle and a third daughter stood nearby when a shooter in all black with a ski mask approached and fired at least 14 rounds through the front windshield at close range.

Lighty was struck multiple times in the head, chest, and torso. Officers rushed him to Jefferson University Hospital, where he died a short time later. Fourteen spent shell casings were recovered at the scene, some found just inches from the front of the van. The daughters inside the vehicle were not physically injured.

In February 2022, police identified 39-year-old Nushar Scott and issued a warrant charging him with murder and weapons violations. Investigators say Lighty appears to have been a mistaken target in what they describe as a retaliatory shooting; the motive for the intended act of vengeance remains under investigation.

Did anyone in Queen Village or Upper Darby see the minivan or the shooter that evening, or have information about who else may have been involved?
