Shaliyah Davis, 25, was fatally shot on July 16, 2020, in North Philadelphia while seated in a Ford Escape on the 2500 block of West Berks Street. Davis, who was four months pregnant, was struck once in the head after a gunman approached the vehicle, opened the door, and fired. She was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; her unborn child also did not survive.

Police initially thought Davis was the target, but later determined the shooter had intended her boyfriend, who was exiting the SUV and who chased the shooter while armed. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open as officers follow leads.

The shooting has been cited as part of broader concerns about rising gun violence in the city and has deeply affected Davis’s family and community. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspect, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
