On November 16, 2019, 31-year-old Nisha Fortune-Wessels was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of her white Kia sedan in a lot across from Banana’s 876 Bar and Lounge on the 5400 block of Rising Sun Avenue in Olney, Philadelphia. Emergency responders found two gunshot wounds to her chest and stomach; she died at the scene. She lived on Knorr Street in Philadelphia and her death was ruled a homicide.
