A man has been charged with the killing of a young bjj purple belt Sam Algarin in Chester County, Philadelphia.
Hakeem Smith, 30, allegedly shot Sam Algarin, 31, once in the chest, left Algarin for dead on the side of a road in West Fallowfield Township, then stole the victim’s car — all within hours of getting kicked out of his mother’s house, authorities said and nbc philadelphia reported.
“It was the wrong place at the wrong time,” Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said. “It’s very sad.”
“It’s the first murder out there in 30 or 40 years,” Hogan added.
Investigators first connected Smith to the vehicle through surveillance video at a nearby gas station that allegedly shows the suspect getting gas.
“West Fallowfield is a quiet and peaceful rural area, and we seldom see violence like this,” Wilmont said. “However, the entire team came together to investigate and arrest the defendant. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sam Algarin’s family.”
