Skylar Owens Mooney was 19 and from Broomall, Pennsylvania when she was fatally wounded on October 8, 2020, in Philadelphia during an attempted carjacking. A man identified in reports as 29-year-old Stanley Cochran opened fire on her car in Germantown; a male passenger escaped but Skylar was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Police located Cochran later the same day and engaged him. He fired at officers, struck a police car, then tried to flee in another police vehicle. When he could not find the keys and emerged armed, officers fired and Cochran was killed. Investigators said Cochran might have been linked to two killings days earlier, though no physical evidence confirmed that connection.

Friends and family remembered Skylar as a vibrant, kind young woman, and a GoFundMe was set up to help cover funeral costs. Does anyone have information about Skylar, the shooting, or the events in Germantown that morning?
