Melanie Raye, 40, was fatally shot on August 20, 2020, on the 1400 block of North Etting Street in Philadelphia. She suffered multiple gunshot wounds to her torso and died that evening after being taken to Temple University Hospital. A 35-year-old Black man was also shot at the same scene and taken to the same hospital in critical condition.

Philadelphia Police released photos and descriptions of two men wanted in connection with the shooting: one a thin-built Black male with a bushy haircut wearing a white t-shirt and light blue pants; the other a Black male of medium build wearing a black Chicago White Sox hat, black t-shirt and black shorts over black compression pants. The City of Philadelphia has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Family, friends and local groups have held vigils and publicly appealed for help. The case remains unsolved. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who recognizes the men in the released descriptions have information to share?
