A man who shot and killed another man on the streets of Chester this afternoon was caught on video moments before the act, according to police.

At 1:04 p.m., a 27-year-old man who was shot in the torso at 21st Street and Egmont Avenue was pronounced dead on scene, police said.

The victim's identity has not been released, pending family notification, but police have released surveillance footage of the gunman who is believed to be responsible for the shooting.

Take a look. If you know this man please call Chester police at 610-447-8431 or county detective Michael Jay at 610-891-4700.

Colwyn police Cpl. Trevor Parham, who allegedly Tasered a 17-year-old while he was handcuffed in a cell last month then texted a "lol" about the incident to another cop, was held for trial today on assault and official oppression charges.

But that minor development is really just an excuse for me to direct you to the "Celebrities in the Basement" YouTube video featuring Parham and his twin brother, Troy. The Daily News' Stephanie Farr mentioned the Argyle-infused video in her last story about Parham's arrest, but I don't think it has received sufficient exposure. 

Pop a bottle of bubbly and enjoy the next 17 minutes and 43 seconds of your life. Or fast forward to the action scenes.

I get it, OK? You're sippin' on a 40, puffin' on a blunt, you might get the urge to pop off a few rounds from your favorite firearm. It's the Cypress Hill trifecta.

Doesn't mean the neighbors aren't going to call the cops. Nor is it a good idea when your girlfriend's 1-year-old boy is in the house.

But that's what Darien Edward Featherstone-Brown, 22, of Darby Township, was arrested for today after Collingdale Police responded to a home on Chester Pike at 4:15 a.m. for reports of shots fired.

Inside, they found a box of .38-caliber ammo in the refrigerator, a revolver in the ceiling of the bathroom, several bottles of open malt liquor and suspected marijuana. Police say Featherstone-Brown and two juvenile males were seen running upstairs and turning the lights out when they arrived. Then the SWAT team showed up. The standoff ended without incident a few hours later.

None of the three would 'fess up to what happened. Cops say four to seven shots were fired.

“My gut is telling me they were drinking, hootin' and hollerin', and they let some rounds go," said Collingdale Police Chief Robert Adams. "You can’t do that."

Adams said Featherstone-Brown was supposed to be babysitting his girlfriend's kid. She was at work. The kid wasn't hurt and no injuries were reported, although a guy who was walking past the house was sort of freaked out.

"He ducked and called 9-1-1," Adams said.

Featherstone-Brown faces a long list of offenses, including reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, corruption of minors and gun charges.

Cpl. Trevor Parham, one of the "fine members" of the Colwyn Police Department, has been charged with simple assault and official oppression for allegedly Tasing a teenager who was handcuffed in a jail cell last month, the Daily News' Stephanie Farr reports from the Media Courthouse, where Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan is holding a news conference.

New details are emerging this morning:

County authorities say Parham texted about the incident with another Colwyn cop, saying the 17-year-old "got Tased in the cell lol." He allegedly texted that he zapped Da’Qwan Jackson because the kid "kept kicking the gate and calling me names."

Stephanie has been all over this story out of Colwyn, a borough of only 0.3 square miles on the Southwest Philly border that  has firmly established itself as the most dysfunctional town in Delco – and possibly the entire Delaware Valley. Chalk it up to a volatile combination of partisan bickering, outright racism and plain ol' incompetence. 

Check back for an update later.

Daily Delco scribe Bill Bender has a very hard job this morning. He's surrounded by pot right now at the Darby Borough police station.

"There's dozens of plants here in front of me, some of them are budding and some of them are not budding," he reports. "They're in different stages of growth and there's a couple different kinds, possibly. It's very pungent."

Bill is awaiting the start of a police press conference by Chief Robert Smythe regarding a home invasion last night that led to the bust of a large-scale growing operation in the borough.

According to Bill, who spoke with police moments ago, around 9 p.m. last night authorities responded to shots fired when three men busted in to a house on Glen Avon Road.

No one was injured by the gunfire and the three intruders escaped after a car chase with another man who had been inside the house when they burst in, police said.

When police arrived on scene, they said they discovered that the homeowner, Daniel Thomas, had an extensive marijuana growing operation in two bedrooms and the basement. He even had automated growing lights that would move along two-by-fours on a timer as well as a propane heating system, according to police.

"This guy was very, very good at what he did," Smythe told Bill. "I can't believe he didn't burn the house down."

Stay tuned for more from Bill, who I hope will be listening to War's "Low Rider" on his way back to the office.

Sometimes it's amazing what people will steal or how they go about doing it. And, as the weather improves, the thefts seem to only get more bizarre. Here's some gems that the state police have investigted around Delaware County recently:

*Around 11:30 p.m. on April 30, a man parked his car at Hank's Place, a restaurant on Baltimore Pike in Chadds Ford "Where hungry people eat and friendly people meet." The man, who apparently was not friendly, hungry or meeting anyone, skipped across the street to Red Clay Studios, an antiques store, where he stole $1,200 worth of merchandise, according to police.

*Fairy tales can come true, but it probably won't happen to you if you go about stealing fairies. Sometime between May 2 and May 5, a sprightly thief stole two plastic light-up fairies, 10 solar lanterns and one spotlight from the lawn of 60-year-old Chadds Ford woman who lives on Featherbed Lane, police said. I bet there's nursery rhyme in there, but it's escaping me now.

*Lights and laterns aren't the only lawn ornaments in danger in Delaware County. According to police, on May 8 someone swiped five reflective lawn signs from a 54-year-old man's lawn in Thorton Township. Police did not detail what, if anything, the signs said, and it remains unknown whether the thief reflected on his crime after the fact.

Daniel Rutland, mayor of embattled Colwyn, declared another state of emergency in the .3-square-mile borough yesterday after his previous order was overturned by borough council two weeks ago.

Allegations of police misconduct surfaced at the beginning of this month after a juvenile was allegedly Tasered by an officer while he was handcuffed in a holding cell.

Those allegations led Rutland to take three officers who are under investigation by county detectives off of the work schedule indefinitely, including the acting head of the department, Deputy Chief Wendell Reed.

Rutland made the new acting head of the department Lt. Wesley Seitz. He is the officer who investigated the Tasing and provided information on it to the mayor.

In response, borough council, led by council President Tonette Pray, who many sources say is aligned with Reed, voted to place Seitz on leave as well, even though he is not under investigation. That prompted Rutland to declare a state of emergency on May 2 so he could place Seitz back on the schedule.

At a raucous borough council meeting the following night, council voted to put Seitz back on leave, rescind the mayor's state of emergency and to reinstate Reed, even though he remains under investigation.

In his most recent order issued late last night, Rutland has once again reinstated Seitz as acting head of the department, noting that the department has four vacant positions, three of which are supervisory. His order also says Seitz is guaranteed protection under the state Whistleblower's Act.

Rutland goes on to note that he is in charge of scheduling the department's officers and he will not schedule any officers who are under investigation.

In the order, Rutland writes that the department is "SEVERELY understaffed," and he is calling on aid from the state police and surrounding municipal police departments.

Rutland declined to comment today on the order.

If you're a welfare recipient in Darby Borough, Aunty Florence's West African Food Market was the place to go, not for the fruits and veggies, but to convert food stamps into cash.

That's what U.S. Attorney Zane Memeger is alleging in federal charges filed today against Florence Kingsley, a/k/a Florence Kingsley Mamulu, the store owner in the Delaware County borough bordering Southwest Philadelphia.

The feds say Kingsley, 59, was doling out cash and keeping a healthy cut for herself, processing the fraudulent transactions through the EBT terminal in her store. For instance, she'd "purchase" about $200 in food-stamp benefits and give the recipient $120. 

Not a bad deal for Aunty Florence. Except that Kingsley, who allegedly defrauded the government of nearly $300,000, faces up to five years in prison, if convicted.

A drunken motorcyclist who crashed his bike along I-95 Friday not only has to deal with severe medical troubles but also legal ones after police discovered he had drugs on him, a warrant out for his arrest and that he was a card-carrying member of the Pagans' Motorcycle Club, according to state police.

James Larrell Price, 47, of Wilmington, Del., crashed his bike on an off ramp in Upper Chichester Township around 1:35 a.m., police said. He was severely injured and taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

Once at the hospital, it was discovered Price had prescription pills on him that he did not have a prescription for and that he had an active warrant out of Maryland for fleeing and eluding police, according to a news release. State police said they also learned Price is a current member of the Pagans.

Police said Price was drunk at the time of the crash. He was charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants and drug possession.
