On the evening of September 19, 2013, 40-year-old Jason Scott McClay was working as a manager filling in at a Rite Aid in Chester, Pennsylvania. Shortly before 10 p.m., two people entered the store and a confrontation ended with McClay shot in the head; the assailants then fled.

Investigators determined the robbery had been planned by an inside man, a Rite Aid loss-prevention officer named Tariq Mahmud, who arranged for friends from Philadelphia to hit the store on a night he knew the safe would hold a lot of cash. The plot went wrong when McClay happened to be working that shift. Evidence including text messages showed animosity toward McClay and discussed harming him.

Within days police arrested several suspects; fingerprints tied David Wiggins to the scene, and Rita Pultro was identified as the shooter. The probe implicated Mahmud, Christopher Parks as the getaway driver, and Ashaniere White in the planning. All five were charged in connection with McClay’s murder.

Did anyone in the Chester area know Jason McClay or have information about that night?
