On the evening of July 29, 2017, 29-year-old John Le was shot multiple times in the torso while walking from a pizza shop to a friend’s apartment on the 2300 block of Haverford Road in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. His friend, inside the apartment, heard him shout that the attacker had a gun before the fatal shots; first aid was given at the scene and Le was taken to Lankenau Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Only Le’s cellphone was reported taken.

Investigators linked the Ardmore killing to an earlier shooting in Overbrook Park, Philadelphia, less than an hour before. In that incident a man in a red hoodie reportedly fired 17 times at a vehicle after being confronted; no one was injured. The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Derrick Rollins of Philadelphia and was captured by U.S. Marshals in Decatur, Georgia, on August 22, 2017, then returned to Pennsylvania to face charges including murder and attempted homicide. Reports say the motive was unclear and Rollins did not appear to know the victims.

John Le was a graduate of Lower Merion High School and Temple University who enjoyed disc golf and tennis. Does anyone have information about his activities in Ardmore that evening or about the earlier Overbrook Park encounter?
