Drexel issued no real-time alert about the overnight shooting. Later that day, a separate hours-long police [manhunt for a man who had escaped police custody](https://www.thetriangle.org/article/escaped-shooting-suspect-captured-in-powelton-village) unfolded in the same Powelton Village blocks, and Drexel's [DrexelALERTs beginning at 11:06 AM EDT](https://drexel.edu/publicsafety/about/psu/2022/september/update-and-advisory-on-shooting-at-35th-street-near-baring) concerned that daytime police activity; an all-clear was issued at 12:34 PM EDT, then reversed, before the escaped man was recaptured near 35th and Baring at approximately 1:15 PM EDT.",
    "outcome": "The person taken into custody near 35th and Baring at approximately 1:15 PM EDT on September 22, 2022, after a multi-hour search with K9 units, was a man who had escaped police custody in a separate matter, not a suspect in the Beauregard shooting; Everett Beauregard's killing remained unsolved. Beauregard, 23, of Chester County and a recent Temple University graduate, was pronounced dead at approximately 1:00 AM EDT.",

  "context": "In the early morning of Thursday, September 22, 2022, [Everett Beauregard](https://6abc.com/everett-beauregard-murder-north-35th-street-shooting-temple-alumnus-killed-drexel-university/12255510/) (a 23-year-old recent Temple University graduate from Chester County, Pennsylvania) was shot and killed on the 400 block of North 35th Street near Baring Street, one block from the edge of Drexel's University City campus in the Powelton Village neighborhood. Surveillance video showed the [offender circling the block](https://6abc.com/murder-of-everett-beauregard-temple-university-graduate-drexel-philadelphia-homicide/12350665/) starting at approximately 11:21 PM EDT on September 21 before turning and firing three shots at close range. Beauregard was struck once in the base of the neck, severing his spinal cord, and was pronounced dead at approximately 1:00 AM EDT; his killing remained unsolved, with police continuing to seek the gunman through surveillance video and a reward. Drexel issued no real-time alert about the overnight shooting. Its first DrexelALERT went out at [11:06 AM EDT on September 22](https://drexel.edu/publicsafety/about/psu/2022/september/update-and-advisory-on-shooting-at-35th-street-near-baring) for a separate daytime police [manhunt](https://www.thetriangle.org/article/escaped-shooting-suspect-captured-in-powelton-village) in the same blocks, targeting a man who had escaped police custody after being treated at a nearby hospital for a gunshot wound from an earlier, unrelated shooting; officers, K9 units, and drones searched the neighborhood. The 12:34 PM EDT all-clear was reversed by a 1:06 PM EDT follow-up that resumed search instructions, and the escaped man was recaptured at the rear of a property on the 3400 block of Baring Street at approximately 1:15 PM EDT, followed by a second 1:25 PM EDT all-clear. Separately, the [university president issued a message](https://drexel.edu/president/communications/message/2022/september/message-about-shooting-35th-street-near-baring) on the broader Powelton Village safety concerns following the overnight homicide.",
  "keyFindings": [
    "Drexel issued no real-time alert about the 12:30 AM EDT fatal shooting; its DrexelALERTs that day concerned a separate daytime police manhunt for an escaped-custody suspect in the same Powelton Village blocks",
    "DrexelALERT issued two 'all-clear' messages, with the first (12:34 PM EDT on September 22, 2022) reversed by a renewed search alert at 1:06 PM EDT before the final all-clear at 1:25 PM EDT",
    "The 12:34 PM EDT all-clear text ('3700 Baring ALL CLEAR. You may resume normal activities.') is verbatim from Drexel's published Public Safety advisory",
    "The case prompted a Drexel president-level statement on Powelton Village safety beyond the standard DrexelALERT cadence",
    "The shooting occurred on the 400 block of North 35th Street, one block north of Drexel's main campus and a frequent residential location for upperclassmen and graduate students"
