J. Charles Hopkins, a 32-year-old Black man from Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on August 30, 2016, while driving through the city’s West End. He was behind the wheel of a red 2005 Volvo on Third Street when gunfire struck him; the car then went out of control and crashed into the wall of Thomas M. Thomas Memorial Presbyterian Church. Hopkins was taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. He left behind two sons and services were held in Chester in early September 2016.

Does anyone have information about that stretch of Third Street that night or about Hopkins’ movements prior to the shooting?
