John Patrick William Kilman was 19 when he was killed while working the overnight shift at the Stop-N-Go on Chester Pike and Huron Avenue in Norwood, Pennsylvania. In the early hours of April 18, 1986, an anonymous call brought police to the store at about 2:55 a.m.; Kilman had been shot twice, in the head and abdomen. He was taken to Taylor Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead at 3:59 a.m. The robbery that night yielded $82.76.

Kilman had been saving for tuition at the Art Institute of Philadelphia and hoped to become an artist. He was one of 15 children; his mother recalled his plans to buy her a home. In August 2022 authorities named a main suspect, 57-year-old Michael Klein, after a June 2022 confession in which he reportedly described details only the killer would know. Klein died of a heart attack on July 4, 2022, before any charges were filed, and no arrests were ever made.
