Jeffrey Joyner, 19, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot to death on September 6, 2010, on the 2700 block of Kane Street. His 27-year-old uncle, Tyrone Thompson, was killed in the same shooting, which occurred about 11:45 p.m. on September 5, 2010. Witnesses said two men in a black van were seen in the neighborhood that night; one witness account says Brian Itchy Selby exited the van, put on a black sweatshirt, approached the victims and fired multiple shots before returning to the vehicle and leaving.

Two suspects, Selby and Jujuan Apples Parker, were arrested in the investigation. Prosecution witnesses placed both men at an earlier cookout where a confrontation reportedly took place. The defense described witness statements as contradictory and possibly fabricated, and some witnesses later said they were coerced into giving statements. Selby was acquitted of all charges; Parker was convicted of two counts of third-degree murder and received a life sentence.

Jeffrey Joyner is remembered by family as devoted and committed to his faith and to sports. Did anyone in the Chester area have information about the victims or the events that night?
