Anthony Cheever, 19, was fatally shot on the evening of June 12, 2019, in Campbell Square Park in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. He had been at the park with a 16-year-old friend when two people on bicycles approached; an altercation followed after one of the bicyclists pistol-whipped Cheever’s friend. As an assailant began to leave, he turned and fired multiple shots, striking Cheever three times.

Both young men were taken to local hospitals. Cheever’s friend survived a gunshot wound to the leg, but Anthony Cheever died that night. Family and friends said Cheever was a hardworking young man not involved in the dispute and was on his way to work when he was killed.

A suspect was later arrested in connection with the shooting. What can readers from Port Richmond or anyone with information about the incident add to the circumstances that night?
