Andrea De Los Santos was 16 when she was shot and killed during a large pop-up boom party on the 3000 block of East Tioga Street in Philadelphia around 1 a.m. on May 30, 2022. The event drew a crowd and investigators say about 50 spent shell casings were recovered; Andrea was one of four people struck and was taken to Temple University Hospital, where she died.

No motive has been released and no arrests have been announced. Family members and the community have held vigils; Andrea’s mother, Carmen, said Andrea wanted to become an immigration lawyer to help newcomers from the Dominican Republic, and her sister Leslye Estavez described her as loving and good with young children. A GoFundMe was started to assist with funeral expenses.

Anyone who was at the boom party or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
