James Ford, 39, was shot and killed on August 17, 2023, in Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred about 4:40 p.m. outside an auto shop at Baltimore and Marple avenues after an argument over car repairs with his nephew, 25-year-old Birchett Lamont King. Investigators say King allegedly drew a firearm and shot Ford multiple times; Ford died at the scene.

King reportedly fled in a dark gray Dodge Durango with tinted windows and was considered armed and dangerous. On August 21, 2023, Clifton Heights police took King into custody and charged him with homicide and related offenses. A funeral and luncheon for Ford held that same day in Upper Darby, attended by 50 to 100 people, was shattered by a separate shooting that killed one person and wounded three others; police believe that attack was retaliatory and say the suspects left in a dark-colored Chevy Malibu and remain unidentified.

Does anyone have information about either shooting or the vehicles involved?
