Riccardo Cardi Burnett Jr., 38, was a Chester, Pennsylvania resident remembered as a family man, father of three daughters, and a longtime worker for employers including U.P.S., Firpos and Sons, and Rastelli Foods Group. Born May 1, 1981, he grew up in West Philadelphia and Wayne before his family moved to Chester in 1982; his obituary emphasizes his spirituality, education, love of sports, and a warm, joking personality.

Public memorials and news links tie Burnett’s death to a fatal shooting in Chester in September 2019. Coverage identified the incident as Chester’s 13th homicide of that year and noted it occurred hours after city officials announced a crackdown on gun violence. No public arrest, charge, or conviction connected to his homicide was found.

His family held viewing and funeral services in October 2019, with interment at Rolling Green Memorial Park in West Chester. Does anyone have information about the shooting or remember Riccardo’s life in Chester?
