Omar Metts, 27, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on January 19, 2008, near his family’s home early on a Saturday morning. He had been released from prison only two months earlier after serving time for the 1999 death of a gang-wannabe. Police launched an investigation into his killing and during the inquiry sought his brother, Saleem Metts, who was wanted on charges of attempted homicide and sexual assault. Authorities worked to gather evidence and identify suspects, and the case drew significant attention in the community. The family and neighborhood were left grieving while investigators pursued leads.

If anyone knew Omar, his recent movements after release, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
