In the early morning hours of July 24, 2010, 21-year-old Rahim Hicks was shot and killed outside J&S Seafood on Kerlin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. Hicks, a Chester High School graduate who volunteered with a local fire company and enjoyed fishing and NASCAR, was involved in an argument in the restaurant doorway at about 3:30 a.m. that ended when Jamir Williams fired five shots. Hicks was struck four times, including two bullets to the chest; a bystander was also wounded.

Investigators continued the case for more than a year. Fifteen months after the shooting a witness came forward whose information led to Williams’s arrest in February 2012; authorities also linked him to another 2010 murder and an attempted murder. At trial a key witness — Williams’s former girlfriend and the mother of his child — had earlier told police she was on the phone with him during the shooting and quoted him as saying he had no choice but to shoot Hicks, but she recanted much of that testimony on the stand and was treated as a hostile witness.

A jury found Jamir Williams guilty of first-degree murder in December 2014. In court, Hicks’s mother delivered a victim-impact statement asking God to have mercy on his soul. Did anyone in Chester at the time remember seeing or hearing anything that could fill gaps in the timeline that night?
