Calvin Butter Walls was 21 when he was killed on March 18, 1989, on the 600 block of Edwards Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. Prosecutors later described the shooting as execution-style; Walls was struck five times. A newspaper account at trial characterized the slaying as a city murder rooted in a deadly feud.

The case centered on two Chester men, James Worley, 26, and Leroy Ponzo, 22. Prosecutors said Worley was the triggerman and Ponzo the getaway driver. Witnesses testified Worley approached Walls from behind, spoke to him, then shot him multiple times; they also placed Worley jumping into Ponzo’s car immediately after the shooting. A jury of eight men and four women convicted both Worley and Ponzo of first-degree murder; the conviction carried a mandatory life sentence. The judge deferred formal sentencing while motions for a new trial were pending and revoked Ponzo’s bail.

Are there readers who remember Edwards Street that night or who knew Walls and can share information about him or the feud that led to this killing?
