Felix Pizarro was 19 when he was shot and killed on May 23, 2009 while playing a pick-up basketball game at Pulaski Playground near Eighth and Caldwell Streets in Chester, Pennsylvania. The attack happened around 7 p.m.; five people were hit when a passerby opened fire into the crowd. Felix had just graduated from Chester High School and was planning to take community college business classes. His family says he was not involved in criminal activity or drug culture.

Investigators say the shooter, James Armstrong, drove by in his cousin’s car and fired 22 shots, striking multiple people. Police found a car matching the description parked at the William Penn Housing Project, but many witnesses were reportedly reluctant to come forward. Armstrong later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in this case and another killing and received additional prison time.

Felix’s family described the deep loss left by his death; his father had warned him to avoid the park. Did anyone who knew Felix or was at the playground that evening come across details that haven’t been shared publicly?
