Darnell Coley, 24, was killed in a January 13, 2017 shooting inside a home on the 3300 block of West 3rd Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. Police were called shortly after 9:00 p.m.; Coley’s mother met officers and led them inside, where he was found on the steps in the family room with multiple apparent gunshot wounds. Medics tried to treat him but he was pronounced dead at 9:19 p.m. The Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office was scheduled to perform an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.

Chester police and detectives from the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office opened an investigation and characterized the case as an active homicide probe.

No reporting located from the time confirms an arrest, charges, or that the case was solved.
