His mother, Molly Collington, said her son had just returned to North Philadelphia from his Delaware County home with clean laundry following Thanksgiving weekend.She called her son's murder a"horrible injustice" and a"travesty like you have no idea" during an interview with NBC10. She also said she'll do anything to bring the person responsible to justice.
Collington was a senior political science student at Temple, the university said. He was set to graduate in the spring of 2022 from the College of Liberal Arts.“We are encouraged by an arrest of a suspect in the death of Sam Collington," Temple said in a statement."It is our hope that this is the start of healing for his family and the Temple community.
