A chilling surveillance video shows a recent university graduate, Everett Beauregard, 23, randomly attacked and killed while walking home from a social gathering Thursday evening in Democrat-run Philadelphia. Beauregard is a recent Temple University graduate who reportedly once intervened for Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA).
Local law enforcement agencies have already confirmed that the act of violence was completely random based on the video shown below and that no communication whatsoever was exchanged between the two men as they passed by each other and that the victim was picked “at random”.

Captain Jason Smith of the Philadelphia Police said during a press conference “Turned out to be Mr. Beauregard, but I think it could have been anyone else that was walking around in that area at that time.”
Campus officials have since urged students to use the Drexel guardian app and to reach out to Drexel police for an escort home.
Social media was quick to speculate the reasons behind why a black man would senselessly kill an innocent man who was minding his own business. Many believed it was part of a “gang initiation” where a new member needs to randomly kill a white person in order to be accepted.
One Twitter user replied agreeing that “in order [to] become a member, need to off a whitey. victim.”
yes, i thought so too. too become a member, need to off a whitey. victim was probably a bigot anyway

Patriot One News has not reached out to those claiming the random killing was “gang-related” and can not confirm whether this was in fact the case.
Investigators released a video (above) that shows the gunman — a male with a slim build, wearing a dark hoodie, black pants, and a medical-grade mask — pacing on 35th Street between Hamilton and Spring Garden streets, the Daily Mail reported.
The video shows the suspect’s hand in the pocket with the gun. As he walks, he reaches over with his free hand to adjust the weapon nervously.
He reaches Spring Garden Street at the end of the 400 block of 35th Street and looks behind him, then turns and comes back down the block, meeting Beauregard midblock.
As the former campaign worker passes the stoop of a townhouse, the suspect stops and turns back to where Beauregard just past and fires.
Congressman Brendan Boyle, who Beauregard interned for at one time, responded to the tragedy by attempting to politicize the attack, “I am heartsick to learn the senseless epidemic of gun violence has struck a member of my team, our former campaign intern Everett Beauregard. Everett worked for my campaign during the 2018 election season.”
Philadelphia authorities are offering $20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the gunman.
Beauregard’s recent alma mater posted a short memorial to him on Twitter.
‘We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Temple alumnus Everett Beauregard, who was killed in West Philadelphia last night . . . He had a very bright future ahead of him, and it is beyond disheartening knowing we will no longer be able to watch him soar alongside his fellow Owls,’ college administrators wrote, referring to the university mascot.
The killer hasn’t been arrested, so cops have been unable to offer any possible motive as to the horrific killing.
