Edward Taylor, 54, was shot and killed on September 1, 2015, as he was getting into his vehicle in the early morning in the 300 block of Lloyd Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. He was taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where he later died. More than 20 shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Investigators note the case bears similarities to the 2013 murder of his 27-year-old son, Edward Taylor Jr., for which Jamir Deshawn Edmonds was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life. Edmonds has maintained his innocence and the prosecutor described that earlier shooting as a contract killing. For the 2015 death, detectives say they have a working theory but have not identified suspects or a definitive motive; City Detective Larry Weigand and County Detective Thomas Scarpato are leading the investigation.

Friends and family have been publicly grieving and sharing memories. If anyone has information that could help the investigation, contact Detective Weigand at 610-447-7908 or Detective Scarpato at 610-891-4700.
