Amber Lewis, 17, was killed in a mass shooting at a late-night party in North Philadelphia in the early hours of October 6, 2024. The shooting happened just after 12:30 a.m. in the courtyard of the housing development on the 600 block of Franklin Place, where Amber lived. She was struck in the chest and later pronounced dead at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

Witnesses reported four masked individuals in dark clothing fired roughly 60 rounds into the gathering; police recovered 58 bullet casings at the scene. Two other women were wounded — a 17-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds in critical condition and a 20-year-old shot in the leg and listed stable. The shooters fled in a dark blue BMW driven by a fifth person, heading south on Eighth Street. No arrests have been announced and the Philadelphia Police Department Homicide Unit is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Amber or has information about that night or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please contact investigators.
