Pamela Merejo-Medina was 21 when she was killed in a mass shooting on May 30, 2022, in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. The shooting occurred just after 1 a.m. on East Tioga Street during a car meetup; Pamela and her best friend were in their car preparing to leave when gunfire erupted. Pamela was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead. A 16-year-old, Andrea De Los Santos, also died at the hospital; two other people were wounded.

Police say Pamela and Andrea were not the intended targets. Investigators report the shooters were aiming at an unidentified male who was at the meetup. The City of Philadelphia is offering up to a $20,000 reward for information leading to arrests and convictions. Pamela’s sister, Melani Merejo-Medina, and others remember her as vibrant and outgoing.

Anyone who knew Pamela, was at the meetup, or has information about that night is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
