JaMiyah Nicole Butler was 4 years old when she was struck by a stray bullet on October 28, 2004, while riding in the back seat of a car on the 900 block of Tilghman Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. She and a 3-year-old friend, Damya Baez, were being driven by their mothers to pick up pizza when shots were fired; Damya was wounded in the leg and treated at Crozer-Chester Medical Center. JaMiyah was taken to Crozer and then transferred to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she died eight days later.

Within days of the shooting a 17-year-old, Charles Stanley of Chester, was charged in JaMiyah’s death. The case drew attention because of the victims’ ages and the circumstances of a shooting that struck children riding in a car. The community has held memorials and events in JaMiyah’s memory.

Does anyone in Chester remember that night or have information about the shooting that could help clarify what happened?
