Authorities believe that an overnight homicide victim in East Bradford Township was targeted.

Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said in a press release that his office and the West Chester Police Department are investigating the slaying, which was discovered about 10:30 pm. on Thursday, Aug. 20.

West Chester Police responded to the 700 block of Hillsdale Road after a passing motorist had reported what appeared to be a body on the side of the road.  Police subsequently identified the deceased as Cristian Santiago, 17, of West Chester, the release said, adding that Santiago had been shot.

“This was not a random act,” said Hogan in the release.  “We have developed strong leads and physical evidence.  We are confident in making an arrest soon.”
