On December 29, 2020, 73-year-old Ira Lee Solomon was found dead inside his Phoenixville home on the 400 block of Dayton Street. Friends who visited that afternoon discovered Solomon in the kitchen with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; two 9mm shell casings and a miniature baseball bat were recovered nearby. The back door was unlocked, and witnesses put the likely time of the attack between about 11:30 a.m. and noon, with one person reporting hearing gunshots between 11:50 a.m. and noon.

Another witness said they had seen an unfamiliar silver or gray car in the area; investigators later identified a silver Nissan Altima as part of the inquiry. Investigators spent hundreds of hours following leads and canvassing for exterior camera footage. Nearly two years later, in August 2022, county officials charged three relatives — Raheem Pinder, Dayon Pinder, and Nathaniel Pinder — alleging they staged a robbery and that Raheem Pinder killed Solomon; charges included murder, robbery, burglary and conspiracy, and authorities cited surveillance footage and DNA as linking the men to the scene.

Is there anyone who knew Ira or who saw a silver Nissan Altima in Phoenixville on December 29, 2020?
