Tayvonne Avery was a 15-year-old Black/African American male from Chester, Pennsylvania who was shot and killed on March 10, 2020. The gunfire began about 2:30 p.m. near a basketball court in the 200 block of Broomall Street, where several teenagers were gathered and some were playing. Police found Tayvonne and another 15-year-old, Edward Harmon, with gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other juveniles were wounded in the same incident. One was taken to a hospital in serious condition; another later arrived at Crozer-Chester Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the torso and was reported to be expected to survive. Police described the shooter or shooters as unidentified, and investigators from the local police and Delaware County prosecutors were working the case; a $15,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. No arrest or publicly identified suspect had been reported in the immediate aftermath.

Tayvonne was connected to the Chester High School community, where teammates and school officials mourned and honored him and Edward. If anyone knew Tayvonne, was present at the court that afternoon, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
