Eric Caldwell was found shot multiple times in the back on a Chester, Pennsylvania street in May 2007. His car keys were still in his hand when he was discovered near the intersection of Patterson and Barclay Streets. The initial investigation produced few leads and the case went cold for several years.

In August 2011 detectives Todd Nuttall of the Chester Police Department and William Gordon of the Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division reopened the inquiry, interviewing numerous witnesses who had been near the scene that night. Their work led to the identification of two suspects, James Armstrong, then 27, and Rashad Ishmail, then 30, both from Chester. Prosecutors said the motive was a dispute over money: the pair allegedly demanded payment, chased Caldwell when he ran, and shot him multiple times. Witnesses reported Armstrong later admitting the killing and another seeing Ishmail strike Caldwell outside a bar before the chase.

Both men were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and weapons violations and were held without bail. Does anyone who knew Eric or was in that neighborhood the night of the shooting have information to share?
