Nearly two years after 23-year-old Temple University graduate Everett Beauregard was shot and killed while walking home, his family and friends gathered in Philadelphia’s Powelton Village section on Saturday.
Beauregard was returning to his Spring Garden Street apartment on September 22, 2022, when he was fatally shot in what police described as an unprovoked attack. Surveillance footage shows a man walking past Beauregard before turning around and shooting him.
Beauregard was murdered just months after graduating from Temple University with a degree in political science. To this day, no suspect has been identified, leaving his parents, Leslie and Eric, grappling with the uncertainty surrounding their son’s murder.
“It’s one of those things where it seems like it’s been forever, but just like yesterday,” Everett’s father, Eric Beauregard, said.
At the remembrance ceremony, Beauregard’s parents and friends placed lanterns along the sidewalk near his former apartment as a tribute.
