'A Good Man': Father-to-Be Joined Co-Worker on Trip to Penn. Cabin, Then Was Shot Dead

Some of the bullets struck his head, relatives alleged on a GoFundMe page that had raised money for his funeral.

Authorities say the man who shot Spencer is a 25-year-old white former co-worker of his.

According to the Spencer's relatives, who spoke to The Philadelphia Inquirer, detectives told them the former co-worker acknowledged shooting Spencer, but said he'd done so in self-defense.

However, prominent pathologist Cyril Wecht, an adviser to the grieving family, believes many of the bullets entered Spencer's body from behind.

"My initial thought is that it's absurd to talk about self-defense with nine gunshot wounds," Wecht told the Inquirer.

The family of a Jamaican immigrant who was killed while at a white co-worker's Pennsylvania cabin has hired a renowned medical expert who says it appears he was 'hunted down.'

Peter Bernardo Spencer, 29, of Pittsburgh, was shot nine times - with two of the bullet wounds to his buttocks and one through the neck - after being the only black man invited on a hunting trip with four other people to rural Rockland Township on December 12.

As family continues to wait for answers from local police, they have hired a private investigator and medical examiner to look into the case.

As a civil rights case if nothing else. And especially investigate the "authorities".

I'd think the threat would be mitigated after the first hit. He needed 8 more?
I'm going to take a wild guess that the self-defense thing is a lie.

My husband believes that they lured him up there specifically to kill him.

I don't want to believe that, but it tracks with the story.

A judge's kid? A cop's kid? There's no other way to explain his getting away with this.
That's why they're not releasing his name.

It's not as if we don't have thousands of examples of similar cases throughout our history......

We still have a long way to go with eliminating racism, misogynism and xenophobia in hearts and minds......


RIP Mr. Spenser...... ......

Another case that law enforcement decided to look the other way until someone leaked and social media took care of the rest.

Justice will be served here, ultimately, because you and I know what happened and the rest of the world is about to find out.
