Emerson C. Price III, 21, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on October 30, 2010. On the night he died Emerson and his cousin Robert Adams were wounded on Madison Street after an earlier dispute at Ess’s Bar. Witnesses placed 29-year-old Chester resident Jamir Williams at the scene; trial testimony said Williams returned with a gun and shot both men.

Emerson and Adams ran to their home where family members called 911. Both were taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center; Emerson died of his injuries while Adams survived and later testified at trial. The jury convicted Williams of first-degree murder and related charges, and testimony at trial described threats and attempts to intimidate witnesses.

Emerson was born in Chester and was predeceased by his sister Emquellin Price. He is survived by his parents Sandra Brown and Emerson C. Price II, his children Jameel McClain and Zimeen Price, and other siblings.
