Slain Mayfair man was a 'good kid' - Philly.com
He would have gotten exactly that - if not for some violent punk who, in the heat of a petty spat, stabbed Ewing to death in front of his own front door. "I can't believe something like this happened to somebody who does nothing wrong," said Seth Lempert, a friend of Ewing's who he once slung pizzas alongside at a local restaurant. Ewing and a few friends had left Owen's Cafe, a tiny neighborhood joint on Cottman Avenue near Revere Street, in Mayfair, and were walking to his house on Revere. Just before 3 a. m. , the driver of a passing Ford pickup truck got into a confrontation with Ewing. Police described the killer as a Hispanic man wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, who drove a dark blue or black Ford F-150 or F-250 pickup truck with a covered bed. And as investigators scoured the city last night for Ewing's killer, his friends created a tiny memorial for him on the spot where he lost his life. A bouquet of flowers, a cigarette and a golfball covered in loving scribbles lay last night on a manhole cover in front of Ewing's house. A woman who answered the door at the home declined to comment, as did Ewing's father when reached at his home, a few miles from his son's. Source: www.philly.com
