Sara Salih was 25 when she was killed on September 16, 2016, in Philadelphia. She was sitting in a car with her boyfriend on Sansom Street when a gunman, identified as Nicholas Glenn, approached and opened fire. Salih was struck several times in the chest, taken to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital, and died of her wounds; her boyfriend was wounded and survived.

The shooting was part of a larger rampage that began when Glenn fired about 18 shots at Philadelphia Police Sergeant Sylvia Young in her patrol cruiser. Investigators say Glenn fired at least 51 rounds in total before he was shot and killed by responding officers. A note found on Glenn expressed anger toward law enforcement and his parole officer, but authorities say the motive remains unclear and that Salih and the other victims appeared to have been random targets.

Sara had moved to the United States from Saudi Arabia as a child, was of Ethiopian descent, and was studying fashion design; her family remembered her as outgoing and outspoken with hopes of becoming a paralegal. Does anyone have information about Sara’s last known movements or who might have seen the car on Sansom Street that night?
