Olivia Moran, a 27-year-old woman from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, was tragically found shot to death inside an abandoned building on the 2800 block of North Kip Street in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood on June 18, 2019. She was discovered by a police officer who was flagged down by a woman claiming someone had been shot inside the building. Moran was found lying in a pool of blood in a second-floor bedroom with a gunshot wound to her face.
The bullet had exited through the back of her head, and a spent shell casing and projectile were found inside the room. Responding medics pronounced her dead just after 6 p.m.
The property where Moran's body was found appeared to be abandoned and cluttered with debris and drug paraphernalia. Investigators believed it might be a place where individuals would hang out to use drugs. Police also noted that Moran was naked from the waist down and were investigating the possibility of sexual assault. Homicide detectives were working to determine a motive for the killing.
As of now, there have been no arrests or suspects identified in connection with Olivia Moran's death. The investigation remains open, and Philadelphia police have been speaking with neighbors and searching through surveillance videos to gather more information. They have also asked anyone with information to come forward and contact them.
The case has not led to any litigations or murder trials, and the investigation is ongoing. The Philadelphia Police Department continues to seek justice for Olivia Moran and her family.
