Paul David Ley-Harris, a 47-year-old male of White/Caucasian ethnicity, was shot and killed in daylight on May 17, 2025, after stepping off a SEPTA bus in Lower Providence Township, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Authorities identified the victim as Paul David Ley-Harris and announced the arrest of a 32-year-old Philadelphia man, Jordan Antrim, who was charged with first-degree murder and robbery in connection with the killing. Prosecutors said the fatal encounter unfolded near Ridge Pike and Crosskeys Road at around 5 p.m., and a preliminary hearing was initially scheduled for May 29, 2025.
Investigators said surveillance evidence showed that 47-year-old male Paul David Ley-Harris and the suspect had just ridden the bus together moments before the shooting. According to detectives, video from the bus captured 47-year-old male Paul David Ley-Harris handling his wallet within view of the suspect; minutes later, on the street, he was gunned down and the assailant was seen rifling through his pockets as he lay on the ground. The account of the wallet and street-side robbery was detailed by local outlets citing the district attorney's office, which emphasized the sequence from the ride to the attack.
When officers moved in on the 32-year-old suspect, they recovered a Glock handgun from his waistband. Authorities reported the firearm was registered to him, though he did not possess a license to carry; he nevertheless faces the core counts tied to the killing of 47-year-old male Paul David Ley-Harris. Major Philadelphia-area stations reported the arrest and the charges the day after the shooting, underscoring that the case was treated as a murder and robbery from the outset.
Loved ones of 47-year-old male Paul David Ley-Harris later described him as a gentle presence who had been returning home from work when he was attacked; a family fundraiser said he was killed after getting off the bus outside his apartment. An online memorial page also recorded his death on May 17, 2025. As the criminal case against the 32-year-old suspect proceeds, the story of 47-year-old male Paul David Ley-Harris remains anchored in that brief bus ride and the moments that followed on a suburban roadside.
