Details: Corey White killed

White was shot once in the chest Monday evening after reportedly having an argument with at least one suspect later seen fleeing in a brown vehicle, Philadelphia police spokewoman Tanya Little said.

Earlier this year White’s ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old London Eley, who is also the mother of his child, posted on Facebook, “I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father.” Police said a “stack” refers to $1,000.

Timothy Bynum allegedly responded, “Say no more … what he look like … where he be at … need that stack 1st,” according to police.
