Marvin Burton, 18, was fatally shot in Chester, Pennsylvania, on August 27, 1992, after a confrontation police and prosecutors described as the violent aftermath of an armed robbery. The shooting occurred around 2:15 p.m. near Eighth and McIlvain streets; Burton was struck in the chest and later died from his wound.

According to investigators, Burton had been with Maurice Harding, Kyle Hicks, and a 17-year-old Chester High School student about 15 minutes earlier when they were allegedly robbed at gunpoint. The four then picked up Marvin’s cousin, Ronald Burton, who reportedly got a gun from his girlfriend’s house. The group returned to look for the alleged robbers and encountered Karl Pennisi, Raymond Seals, and Kevin Byrd coming out of an alley. Marvin and Ronald got out of the car, shots were fired, and Marvin was hit; Pennisi, Seals, and Byrd were reported charged with his murder.

Authorities also charged members of Marvin’s group, saying they had gone searching for the suspected robbers instead of contacting police. Maurice Harding, Kyle Hicks, Ronald Burton, and the juvenile were reported charged with attempted murder. If anyone knew Marvin or saw activity near Eighth and McIlvain that afternoon, please come forward with what you remember.
