Was killer trying to silence a witness?

by The Philadelphia Daily News on May 16, 2012

“He was only outside 10 minutes. Somebody had to be waiting for him,” his stepfather, Christopher Hyman, 44, said Tuesday morning, as friends and relatives gathered to grieve at the family’s home at 3rd and Sparks streets.

Jones, who lived a block away on 4th Street near Rosemar, died at Albert Einstein Medical Center about an hour after the shooting.

The gunman is described as a young black man in a gray hoodie and dark blue jeans who was last seen running north on 3rd Street toward Godfrey Avenue. Police also are seeking an older-model gray Ford Taurus with a black hood that may have been connected to the double murder.

Homicide Sgt. Bob Wilkins said investigators are looking at several possible motives, including Ramseur’s role in the May 3, 2010, shooting of Savoeun Ning about two blocks away on Spencer Street near 2nd.
