Jahkil Q. Swain was 18 when he was fatally shot on April 11, 2014, while sitting in the passenger seat of his mother’s car outside the Crosby Square Apartments in Chester, Pennsylvania. A single shot fired through the car window struck him in the heart; he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Crozer Chester Medical Center.

Police arrested a former friend, Breon Lawrence. Investigators recovered a .357 Taurus handgun in Lawrence’s possession that was matched to a bullet jacket fragment from the scene. In August 2015, Lawrence received life without parole for the homicide, plus an additional 6 to 12 years for related charges including recklessly endangering another person and possessing an instrument of crime.

Jahkil’s parents, Lenora Rodriquez and Jeremiah Lawrence, his brother Jazmar Bell, and his grandparents have been described as deeply affected by his death; Rodriquez has publicly forgiven Lawrence and urged him to seek God’s forgiveness. Does anyone have memories of Jahkil or information about the area around Crosby Square Apartments on April 11, 2014?
