Melvin Henry Swiggett, 63, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on the evening of July 15, 2023. His death was investigated as a homicide. Born August 3, 1959, Swiggett was a partner, father of five, and a grandfather and great-grandfather. Family remembered him for a contagious laugh, a love of dressing well—often wearing a stylish hat—an enthusiasm for cars, and being a devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan.

The investigation into his killing ran for months with no public breakthroughs and no suspects identified or arrests announced for a significant period. Later reporting indicates an arrest was made in connection with the July slaying, though details about the suspect and the arrest have not been widely shared.
