Chad F. Barnette was 31 and living in East Mount Airy when he was fatally shot during what police described as a robbery. The shooting was reported late on October 17, 2011; Barnette was brought by private vehicle to Einstein Hospital shortly before 11:25 p.m. with gunshot wounds to his arm and torso and died at 12:13 a.m. on October 18. Records place the incident on the 1500 block of East Cardenza Street or on or near the block where he lived.

No arrest, charges, trial, plea, or conviction is mentioned. Barnette’s obituary ran in The Philadelphia Inquirer with funeral services at New Life Church of God and burial at Chelten Hills Cemetery. Who in the neighborhood that night might have seen or heard something that could help this unsolved killing?
