On March 27, 1987, 35-year-old Gregory Payne, a Black/African American man, was shot to death on a street in Chester, Pennsylvania. The shooting prompted a police investigation that led to the arrest of a Chester man who was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Payne’s death.

The charge of first-degree murder indicated the prosecution asserted the killing was intentional and premeditated. The case proceeded to trial to determine accountability for what happened that late March day.

Did anyone in Chester at the time have information about Gregory Payne, his activities, or the events of March 27, 1987?
