On January 3, 2017, 18-year-old Jashaad Boston, a Black/African American male, was shot in a West End park in Chester, Pennsylvania. Emergency services transported him to a nearby hospital, where he died hours later. His death was the city’s second homicide in two days and came amid a year that would record a high number of homicides in Chester.

Investigators tied Jashaad’s killing to a long‑running and violent feud between two families in the city; police examined links between this shooting and other recent violent incidents. No suspects or arrests in Jashaad’s homicide have been publicly announced, and the death remains an unsolved homicide.

If anyone knew Jashaad or has information about the shooting or the feud that led to it, please share what is known with the Chester Police Department.
