On January 27, 2016, at about 7:48 p.m. Alfonso Albert Caldwell Jr., 27, was shot at the intersection of Morton and Johnson streets in Chester, Pennsylvania. The bullet struck his left back and caused multi-organ damage; he was taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center and pronounced dead at 8:15 p.m. His death was ruled a homicide.

Known as Lil Fonnie, Caldwell was a father to a son, Alfonso Albert Caldwell III. Born in Chester to Alfonso Albert Caldwell, Sr., and the late Vida Richardson, he graduated from Chester High School and Wyotech Technical School and worked as an auto mechanic and detailer. Chester city police and county detectives investigated the shooting; the city offered a $5,000 reward that year for information leading to arrests and convictions in the 2016 homicides. No suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Alfonso, was in that area that evening, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
