Zion Vaughan, an 18-year-old from Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was shot in the upper abdomen and died on December 8, 2016. He was found face down in the street in the 800 block of Parmley Avenue in Yeadon and later pronounced dead at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital.

Investigators say Vaughan had been in a high drug area and was approached by two men who wanted to buy marijuana. He gave them his phone number and told them to call back in about an hour; surveillance footage from a nearby deli captured the interaction. Reports state the men met Vaughan again on the 800 block of Bullock Avenue, where Kapri Drayton allegedly produced a firearm and shot him during a robbery. Rodney W. Gary later admitted he knew a robbery was planned and said he was with Drayton when the shooting occurred.

Vaughan played football for Penn Wood High School and hoped to play professionally. If anyone knew Zion, saw him the night of December 8, 2016, or has information about the meeting on Parmley or Bullock Avenue, please come forward.
