Raynald Francois, 30, of the 4300 block of Chester Avenue, surrendered to police in connection with the shooting death of Zaafir Jerry, according to police. The gunfire erupted after an argument over the sale of a car, said Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.

Marie Scott, 71, who has spent more than half a century in prison for murder after she and her then-boyfriend robbed a gas station store and he killed the cashier, will be eligible for parole after Gov. Josh Shapiro approved the commutation of her life sentence. Last month, Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons voted unanimously to recommend that Scott’s life sentence be reduced to time served. The decision had been awaiting approval from Shapiro.
