Andrea Myers, 20, was shot and killed while sitting in a parked car in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia on October 9, 2018. She was White and was not the intended target; investigators say the shooting stemmed from a revenge plot aimed at a man whom Lekita McDuffie blamed for an earlier murder.

Prosecutors say Lekita recruited cousins Tyrone and Dolores McDuffie to carry out the attack. In a back alley on the 5200 block of Westford Road the three fired nearly two dozen rounds into the vehicle; two bullets struck Myers, one in the chest and one in the left arm. She was taken to a hospital and died of her injuries.

Police tied the trio to the shooting using surveillance footage, cellphone data and social media evidence, including threatening messages from Lekita McDuffie’s Instagram account. Lekita, Tyrone and Dolores McDuffie pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and related charges and are awaiting sentencing.

Did anyone in Olney see or hear anything in that alley on the night of October 9, 2018?
