Christopher Trevel Thomas was 19 when he was shot and killed in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, on April 6, 2016. He had been sitting with two others at Atlantic and Crosley avenues around 4:15 p.m. when a car rolled by and someone inside opened fire. Thomas was struck, managed to run about 150 yards into the 7000 block of Atlantic Avenue, and collapsed; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. An autopsy found gunshot wounds to the neck and chest as the cause of death.

Investigators concluded the shooting was about a girl and that Thomas was the wrong person targeted. Three men were implicated: Rahshawn White-Thorpe, Abdul Dukuray, and Rene Edwards. Arrests came in the weeks and years after the killing. Edwards later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to four to ten years; White-Thorpe pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, conspiracy, and firearms offenses and received eight to sixteen years; Dukuray entered a no contest plea to an unlicensed firearms charge and was sentenced to three to six years.

Thomas was remembered by his family as loving, funny, and respectful, with plans to return to school and open a barber shop. Does anyone have information about Chris, where he spent his time that afternoon, or what led up to the shooting?
