Ojanae Tamia Thompson, 19, an aspiring nurse from Philadelphia, was shot while sitting in a black BMW SUV outside the One and Olney Shopping Center on August 16, 2021. She and a friend were helping plan a party when three suspects in a white sedan with black-rimmed tires opened fire, sending at least 16 rounds through the front windshield and driver door window. An 18-year-old male in the vehicle was also shot and later died at the hospital. Ojanae was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center and died of her injuries on August 31, 2021.

The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating and seeking information about the three suspects; the city and the Citizens Crime Commission are involved and a reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to arrests and convictions. The investigation has been hampered by a lack of witnesses despite nearby businesses. Ojanae’s family has created a scholarship fund in her memory and her father, Keavin Thompson, has been publicly urging anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the white sedan seen at One and Olney on August 16, please share what is known with the Philadelphia Police.
