Tina Arroyo, a 32-year-old White woman from Philadelphia, was killed on the evening of July 24, 2023, in the Feltonville neighborhood. Officers responding to reports of gunshots found Arroyo unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a 2007 Honda Civic on the 500 block of East Loudon Street; medics pronounced her dead at 6:05 p.m. Investigators say the attack happened just before 6 p.m., in broad daylight, near a Boys and Girls Club and across from a park where children and families were nearby.

Police describe the incident as an ambush-style shooting: Arroyo pulled up to the area, a white SUV pulled alongside, and gunfire erupted. Investigators reported at least 28 shots fired, several through the Civic’s windshield, and Arroyo suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the face, neck, chest, head and body. Authorities said the attack did not appear random but had not released a confirmed motive.

Three days later police arrested 26-year-old Alexander Grady in connection with the killing; he was charged with murder, conspiracy, multiple firearms offenses, possessing an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person. Family members described Arroyo as a devoted mother of two and said she was engaged to be married. Anyone with information about what happened is asked to come forward.
