Donte Wylie was a 20-year-old man from Philadelphia who was killed on June 17, 2008. Known to family and friends as Taylay, he stood six feet four inches and was remembered for a big smile, an upbeat personality, a distinctive walk with a hop, and a fondness for Polo clothing. He was a young father who adored his daughter, born just a day apart from his own birthday, and he had entrepreneurial ambitions—running a water ice business as a teen and buying and selling cars.

Wylie’s death is described by his family as senseless gun violence. His sister founded The Donte Wylie Foundation, For the Love of Taylay, in 2009 to provide a space for survivors of violence and work on reducing gun violence in the community.
