Emil Donte Smith, 22, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was found fatally shot inside a parked car in the 700 block of East Seventh Street on March 11, 2008. He was discovered around 7:30 p.m.; responding officers pronounced him dead at the scene and the Delaware County Medical Examiner performed an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Detectives Todd Nuttall and Michael Palmer handled the investigation. Police followed multiple leads and interviewed witnesses, but there were no immediate arrests or publicly named suspects and no one had been charged. If ruled a homicide, Smith’s death would have been the third in Chester that year and the eighth in Delaware County. The case remained open and investigators asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Emil, saw activity around East Seventh Street that evening, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
