Leovanny Peña-Peña

On the morning of May 22, 2024, brothers Leovanny Peña-Peña and Giguenson Peña-Peña were shot and killed while working at Delaware County Linen in Chester, Pennsylvania. Leovanny, a 29-year-old man, and his brother were originally from the Dominican Republic. They were two of five employees shot by a coworker that day. "Two individuals who, unfortunately, have lost their life just by showing up at work," said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.

The attack happened around 8:30 a.m. at the business on West 4th Street. When Chester police officers arrived, they discovered one of the brothers deceased outside the building and the other dead inside. Three other employees were wounded in the shooting. Authorities said that two of the injured were in stable condition, while the third was listed as critical but stable. Responding officers were able to provide emergency aid to one victim, applying a tourniquet and using a laundry bin to wheel him outside for medical help.

The shooter was identified as 61-year-old Wilbert Rosado-Ruiz, a fellow employee who had reportedly made threats in the past. Rosado-Ruiz was taken into custody by law enforcement shortly after the incident.

Following his arrest, Wilbert Rosado-Ruiz was charged in connection with the deadly workplace shooting. He was later tried and convicted of murder. A judge sentenced Rosado-Ruiz to life in prison for killing Leovanny and Giguenson Peña-Peña.
