Edward Taylor was 27 and from Chester, Pennsylvania, when he was shot to death on January 14, 2013. He was sitting in his car across the street from his home in the 800 block of Lincoln Street early that morning and was later pronounced dead at Crozer-Chester Medical Center. Four bullets were recovered from his body; detectives recovered 15 shell casings and three bullet fragments at the scene.

The investigation was led by City Detective Larry Weigand and county Detective Thomas Scarpato. Jamir Deshawn Edmonds was arrested, convicted of first-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison; prosecutors argued the shooting was a contract killing and said Edmonds claimed knowledge of a $15,000 bounty on Taylor, though he did not personally know the victim. Friends and family posted condolences and memories after Taylor’s death.

Does anyone from Chester remember Edward Taylor or have information about his life that could help preserve his memory?
