On the night of January 3, 2022, 35-year-old Tasena Jennings was found inside a home on the 900 block of Magee Avenue in Philadelphia’s Lawndale neighborhood with multiple gunshot wounds to her head and chest. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. Her 17-year-old son was also shot in the abdomen and taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in critical but stable condition; he was expected to survive.

Officers arriving around 10:40 p.m. saw a man try to flee through a first-floor window before re-entering the house, and later took a man into custody after he exited with his hands raised. The investigation led to the arrest and murder charges of two men identified as Raymond Robinson, described as Jennings’ boyfriend who lived on the same street, and Robinson’s cousin, Kamu Anderson. Authorities characterized the incident as domestic violence; no motive has been disclosed.

Jennings was a mother of three. Anyone with information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
