Felicia Obeng, 41, was fatally shot while sitting outside her Cambridge Street apartment in Worcester on the evening of Saturday, July 16, 2022. She had been enjoying a summer evening with family, including her 63-year-old mother, when a gunman opened fire on the group shortly after 7 p.m. Felicia died at the scene; her mother survived with serious but non‑fatal injuries and was taken to a hospital.

Worcester Police investigators traced the attack to a man who rented a vehicle, drove to Cambridge Street with a loaded firearm, and fired multiple rounds into the assembled group. The suspect identified by police is 32‑year‑old Keith Jones of Fitchburg, who was not licensed to carry a firearm in Massachusetts. Authorities arrested Jones in August 2022 and a Worcester County grand jury indicted him in December 2022 on murder, multiple counts of armed assault with intent to murder, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery by discharge of a firearm, and firearms possession offenses. In January 2023 Jones pleaded not guilty and remained held without bail awaiting trial.

Anyone who knew Felicia, her family, or who has information about what happened on Cambridge Street that night is asked to share what they know.
