On the evening of Sunday, September 11, 2022, 17-year-old Teryn Johnson was shot and killed while walking her dog with a friend on the 5300 block of Horrocks Street in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia. A gray Dodge Challenger had been following them; a man ran across the street, crouched behind a parked van, then emerged and fired multiple shots, striking Teryn in the chest. She was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators concluded Teryn was specifically targeted. Prosecutors say she was nine weeks pregnant and that her 20-year-old boyfriend, Halim Evans, had pressured her to have an abortion. After she decided not to, Evans allegedly arranged the killing by giving her location – reportedly via FaceTime – to cousins Qasim Pointer and Jamel King, who were in a stolen vehicle. Surveillance footage captured the car following Teryn before Pointer got out and shot her twice in the back.

All three men were later arrested: Evans and King at a King of Prussia hotel in March 2023, and Pointer in Newark, Delaware, in August 2023. In October 2024 a judge found there was sufficient evidence for the case to go to trial. Does anyone have information about Teryn’s movements that night or the gray Dodge Challenger seen in Frankford?
