Robert Womack, 79, was shot and killed while driving his grandson in Chester, Pennsylvania, in late January 2020. Womack was behind the wheel of his Chevrolet Impala with his 18-year-old grandson in the front seat and another teenage friend in the back. Near Third and Highland Streets, a group of four young men approached the car and a 14-year-old identified by witnesses as Zhafir Tinsley-Jones allegedly produced a handgun and opened fire. A bullet struck Womack in the back of the head; he managed to drive several blocks before crashing into parked cars in Trainer. He was pronounced dead at the crash scene; the two teenage passengers were unharmed and found by police after fleeing the vehicle.

Police focused on Zhafir Tinsley-Jones as the shooter; he surrendered and was charged as an adult with first-degree murder and related offenses and held without bail. Prosecutors later withdrew all charges in May 2021, citing a mistake in charging him. Womack’s family described him as a kind man who would do anything for anybody. Who has information that could clarify what happened that afternoon?
