On the night of Tuesday, January 21, 2020, Daykwan Carter, 25, was found inside a white Jeep Grand Cherokee in the Target parking lot on City Avenue in the Wynnefield Heights section of Philadelphia with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The vehicle’s engine was running when police arrived shortly before 9 p.m. Two other men, ages 23 and 31, also suffered gunshot wounds and ran into the store for help; they were taken to a local medical center in stable condition.

Investigators recovered several large bags of what appeared to be marijuana and a handgun inside the Jeep where Carter was found, and another handgun was found on the ground outside the vehicle. A second white Jeep that had crashed into a parked car nearby was also part of the scene; police suspected the two surviving men may have been in that second vehicle. Authorities reviewed Target parking‑lot camera footage as part of the initial investigation.

No arrests or suspects have been reported in connection with Carter’s death in the years following the shooting. If anyone has information about what happened that night or remembers seeing activity in the Target lot on January 21, 2020, please share what is known.
