Shaukat Hussain, a 49-year-old man of Pakistani ethnicity, was killed on January 4, 2006, in Chester, Pennsylvania, from a single gunshot wound to the head. His body had been discovered earlier, in the early morning hours of October 18, 2005, in the 1100 block of Union Street. Investigators concluded Hussain was killed during a robbery.

Andre Copps, 23 at the time, was identified as the triggerman and later received a life sentence. Two other Chester residents, Larry Copps and Ryas Sawyer Thompson, were implicated; Larry Copps was acquitted of first-degree murder in 2009, while Thompson was convicted of conspiracy and given a 22- to 44-year sentence. Prosecutors argued the killing was motivated by revenge tied to an assault on Larry Copps’ sister, the mother of Thompson’s child, while the defense maintained the incident was connected to a drug-dealer turf war and denied involvement by their clients.

Anyone who knew Hussain or has information about the robbery and its circumstances is asked to come forward.
