In the early morning hours of December 10, 2023, 28-year-old Tyshea Howard was killed in a shooting on the 2200 block of North Chadwick Street in North Philadelphia. The shooting occurred shortly before 4:15 a.m. during a party. Howard, a mother of three who worked multiple jobs including at a nursing home and a supermarket to support her family, was struck in the back and later died at Temple University Hospital.

The shooting followed a dispute between two men at the gathering; investigators believe Howard was caught in the crossfire when the argument escalated to gunfire. Jerome Jones, 32, was also shot multiple times and died. Two other men, ages 36 and 45, were wounded by stray bullets and reported to be in stable condition.

No arrests had been announced as of late 2023. The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating and a reward of $20,000 has been offered for information leading to a conviction. Can anyone who was at the scene or who knows more about the dispute that triggered the shooting please come forward with information?
