On the afternoon of March 7, 2005, Odies Franklin Bosket Jr., 36, was walking to a Logan neighborhood subway station in Philadelphia to pick up his young daughter from nursery school when a man shot him multiple times, killing him. Bosket was a clerk for the city’s Revenue Department and a father of four.

Witnesses initially identified Morris Wells as the shooter and Wells was arrested. Months later, following the arrest of Juan Covington in an unrelated, videotaped murder, Covington confessed to the killing of Bosket. Ballistics testing linked the firearm found on Covington to the murder, and charges against Wells were subsequently dropped and he was released.

Covington admitted to a string of shootings and later pleaded guilty to three murders and the attempted murders tied to attacks dating back to 1998; he received three life sentences. Does anyone have information about Bosket’s routine that day or saw him near the Logan station before the shooting?
