Eric Eberhart Sr., 46, was shot and killed on the morning of April 23, 2018, in the Nicetown section of Philadelphia, just after dropping his 2-year-old at a nearby daycare. The shooting occurred shortly after 8 a.m. near the 4400 block of Germantown Avenue, close to West Cayuga Street beneath the Roosevelt Expressway. Eberhart was sitting in his car with his 17-year-old son when a confrontation followed him into the street; police say the two men knew each other and had history, and the dispute reportedly concerned a woman both men knew.

According to investigators, a white Mercedes work van followed Eberhart’s vehicle and gunfire was directed into the driver’s-side window, striking him in the chest. He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in critical condition and died shortly afterward. Witnesses reported seeing the van abandoned later near East Tioga and Emerald streets; 49-year-old Darnell Snell was identified as a person of interest and turned himself in to the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit the same evening. Early reports did not list final charges or court outcomes.

Eberhart’s family and neighbors remembered him as a devoted, hardworking father who had raised his son and volunteered as a football coach. Does anyone have information about the events that morning or about contacts who might shed light on the dispute?
