Mya Taylor was an 18-year-old African American female killed in a drive-by shooting in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 2, 2020. She was at a McDonald’s drive-thru in the early morning hours with two friends and had just swapped seats with a male companion when a silver-gray four-door sedan pulled alongside and occupants opened fire. Both Taylor and the 19-year-old male were struck; Taylor died of her injuries and the male was treated at a hospital for non-critical wounds and later released.

Taylor’s family believes she was not the intended target, noting the vehicle she had been sitting in had tinted windows that would have obscured her movement to the front seat. The Memphis Police Department released surveillance photos of a suspect and the silver-gray sedan but has not announced any arrests, and investigators have not determined the exact number of people who fired. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone was at that McDonald’s that morning or has information about the silver-gray sedan or those involved, please come forward.
