Krystina Chambers, a 38-year-old Black woman from Philadelphia, was found shot to death near Mount Pleasant Drive in Fairmount Park on February 29, 2024. She and 49-year-old Thurston Cooper were discovered in the late evening with gunshot wounds; Chambers had been struck in the head and chest and medics pronounced both victims dead at the scene. Police described the shootings as execution-style.

Investigators trace the events that night to an argument at Tellup’s Tavern in North Philadelphia involving Chambers, Cooper and two men identified as 52-year-old Lamar Young and 56-year-old Dale Johnson. Surveillance footage showed all four leaving the bar together in a Kia Sportage driven by Johnson and later tracked the vehicle to Fairmount Park around 10 p.m. The bodies were found just before 11 p.m.

After images from the tavern were released, Lamar Young surrendered. Both Young and Johnson were arrested and charged with murder, conspiracy and related offenses; the case is pending trial. Does anyone have information about Chambers’ movements that night or memories of the tavern that could help investigators?
