Abdul Sesay was a 19-year-old Widener University freshman who was shot to death on April 15, 2002, near the university campus in Chester, Pennsylvania. A standout in high school football and track, Sesay was described as a promising student-athlete at the start of his college career.

The investigation concluded that his roommate, Curtis Jones, shot Sesay five times during an attempted robbery tied to a drug-related dispute. Prosecutors presented DNA evidence linking Sesay’s blood to stains on Jones’ clothing, and witnesses said Jones made conspicuous purchases in New Jersey soon after the killing.

Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and received a life without parole sentence. The case attracted attention because the accused and the victim were university students and because of the role DNA and witness testimony played in the conviction.

Did anyone on campus or in Chester at the time have information about Sesay’s last hours or the events leading up to April 15, 2002?
