On the night of Thursday, December 26, 2024, 28-year-old Tahira Wynn was found shot to death in the driver’s seat of a white Cadillac SUV on the 700 block of Union Street in Mantua, Philadelphia. Wynn, a Black woman and a resident of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, was discovered alongside 53-year-old Kemo Vaughn; both had been shot multiple times and were pronounced dead at about 10:10 p.m., Wynn one minute after Vaughn.

Investigators say surveillance footage shows two male suspects approaching the parked SUV on foot, flanking the vehicle and firing nearly 20 rounds at close range. Many rounds struck through the front passenger-side window; the shooters then fled into a nearby vacant lot. Authorities have described the attack as not random, but a clear motive has not been released.

The Philadelphia Police Department continues to investigate the double homicide and has offered a substantial reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone saw the vehicle, the shooters, or has relevant information, please contact police. What did readers in Mantua see that night?
