Islam Ibn Shabazz was 17 when he was fatally shot in Chester, Pennsylvania, in the early morning hours of December 4, 1998. He lived on the 900 block of Glenn Terrace and was taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where he died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

Police were called about 12:05 a.m. to Ninth and Grace streets, where two young people were found wounded in separate but nearby locations — one on Ninth Street and one in an alley along Grace. Authorities said both had multiple gunshot wounds and described the two as friends. The other injured teenager underwent surgery at the same hospital; that youth’s name was withheld.

Officials said they believed there was a suspect shortly after the shooting, but no name or charges were released at the time. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Islam and his friend?
