Neville A. Johnson Jr., 22, male, died on July 31, 2023, in Chester, Pennsylvania, after being lost to gun violence. Public memorial records place his birth on February 5, 2001, and his death on that summer Monday, while a gun-violence memorial entry identifies Chester as the city where his life ended.
The online record of his death is sparse, but what is available points to a sudden shooting that left another young life cut short in Delaware County.
Gun Memorial lists him as a victim of gun violence and connects his case to a local news report titled “22-year-old shot dead in Chester,” published the day after his death by the Delaware County Daily Times.
In the days after Neville's death, his family and community turned from the scene of violence to the rituals of remembrance. His obituary was posted by Lenwood Jones Funeral Home in Philadelphia, and memorial listings show that a Janazah service was scheduled for August 10, 2023, at the funeral home on West Girard Avenue. His burial was listed at Friends Southwestern Burial Ground in Upper Darby.
The online sources I found do not identify any suspect or suspects in Neville's killing, and they do not show a publicly reported arrest, criminal charges, trial, plea, or conviction tied to his death. The available public summaries describe the case as a fatal shooting in Chester, but they do not provide a motive, name a shooter, or report that anyone had been taken into custody.
