Kyanna Woods McCrea was 16 when she was fatally shot in the head on the evening of July 10, 2021, at the intersection of Colwyn Avenue and South 3rd Street in Colwyn Borough, Delaware County. Emergency services arrived just after 9:15 p.m.; she was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital and pronounced dead four days before her 17th birthday.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the motive remains unknown. Family remember her as vibrant, loving, funny, and a dancer who worked at a McDonald’s in King of Prussia and had attended Tilden Middle School.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Colwyn Borough Police or the Delaware County District Attorney’s Criminal Investigations Division.
