Philadelphia School District counselor Veno Leigertwood, 31, was shot once in the neck shortly after 6:30 a.m. on Saturday in front of his Yeadon, Delaware County home. He died of the injury. His wife, Raven, and 7-month-old daughter, Nichole, were sleeping inside at the time. He was about to get his M.B.A. and had just received a promotion at his job. Leigertwood had no known enemies, and only his cell phone was taken.
