Devon Williams, a 27-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on Memorial Day, May 28, 2012, at the intersection of 21st and Edgemont in Chester, Pennsylvania. He was the son of the Rev. Calvin Williams of the Temple of Brotherly Love and was described by people who knew him as kind-hearted and devoted to family and community.

Authorities released surveillance footage after the shooting that led to the arrest of 23-year-old Tahmir Craig of Chester. Craig was charged and spent 10 months in jail before the FBI and the District Attorney’s office concluded the shooter in the footage was significantly taller than Craig; Craig was subsequently exonerated and released and the DA, Jack Whelan, issued a public apology to Craig and his family. An alibi witness for Craig, Jamar Jones, died in a car crash shortly after the shooting.

The murder remains unsolved. Investigators report a lack of eyewitnesses and that initial witness statements were later recanted. Does anyone have information about that night at 21st and Edgemont or about the surveillance footage that could help move the investigation forward?
