Cashe Conover, a 22-year-old Black/African American female from Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, was killed late on Sunday, October 27, 2019, in the Bloomsdale section of the township. Police were called around 11 p.m. to the area of Mitchell and Bloomsdale Roads after reports of gunfire. Neighbors described hearing several shots, with accounts ranging from four to as many as eight or nine gunshots, and investigators soon focused on the alley behind the 2400 block of Bloomsdale Road, near where Cashe had been staying.
Earlier that day, Cashe had been with people close to her, watching the Philadelphia Eagles game and spending time with family and friends. Relatives said she returned home, then said she would be right back, but she never came back. By the time police and emergency lights filled the alley, Cashe had been found shot, and the neighborhood where she had grown up was suddenly a crime scene. Loved ones remembered her as energetic, loving, fun, and full of life, someone with a bright smile who greeted people warmly and was known for bringing laughter into the room.
Her family’s grief quickly became a public plea for answers. Her mother, Charmane Steed, spoke about the pain of having to bury her daughter and said she wanted Cashe remembered as fun-loving and as the life of the party. At a vigil days later, family, friends, and neighbors gathered in Bristol Township to mourn her and to ask anyone with information to come forward. Cashe’s grandfather said she had been living with him and was like a daughter to him; others recalled that she would give what she had to help someone else.
Investigators did not publicly identify a suspect in the immediate aftermath. Detectives were reported to be looking for the person responsible, and surveillance cameras in the development were discussed as a possible source of clues, though neighbors were unsure whether the alley itself was well covered. At the time, no arrests had been made, and authorities asked anyone with information to contact Bristol Township Police or Bucks County Detectives.
The case remained unsolved two years later. In October 2021, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub announced a reward fund through Bucks County Crime Stoppers for three unsolved Bristol Township killings, including Cashe’s murder. The reward offered $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in her case, and officials described the three cases as separate killings still needing public help.
Based on the online sources reviewed, no arrest, charged suspect, trial, conviction, or sentencing has been reported in Cashe Conover’s killing. The available reporting and the Bucks County announcement describe her death as an unsolved murder, leaving her family and community still waiting for the person responsible to be identified and held accountable.
