Summary
After getting ice cream with friends, Rachel DelTondo is gunned down in a hail of bullets in the parent's driveway.
It was Mother's Day 2018. Now, for the first time, a prime suspect has been named.
Sheldon Jeter, one of DelTondo's students and former lover, is that suspect. Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier says however, more evidence is needed to place Jeter at the murder location.
Jeter is already sentenced to life in prison for the death of a friend, Tyric Pugh. He is appealing. Jeter maintains his innocence in Rachel DelTondo's murder.
