Andrea Washington, a 38-year-old female, was identified in online memorial and gun-violence records as a person lost to gun violence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 7, 2023. The case traces back to a violent late-night shooting on Brooklyn Street in West Philadelphia, where police were called to the 800 block near Brown Street around 10:30 p.m. after gunfire broke out.
Officers first found a man in his 30s who had been shot twice in the back, and then found Washington nearby, unresponsive and bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head. Both victims were taken for emergency treatment and were listed in critical condition at the time of the first report.
The scene suggested a sudden attack in the street rather than a confrontation that police could immediately explain. Investigators said evidence showed three shots had been fired near where Washington was found. The wounded man appeared to have tried to escape after being hit, making it about a block up the street before collapsing. At that early stage, police said they did not have a motive and had no confirmed suspect description.
The only possible suspect detail reported publicly was uncertain: surveillance video showed a masked man running from the area, but Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small cautioned that investigators were not sure whether that person was the shooter. Publicly available reports did not name that masked individual, did not identify any confirmed suspect, and did not describe a recovered weapon or a known relationship between the shooter and the victims.
Washington’s case was later listed by the Philadelphia Obituary Project with a location of 800 Brooklyn Street, Philadelphia, PA, and the page asked anyone with information to contact the project. Gun Memorial also linked her death to the June 7, 2023 shooting in Philadelphia and identified it as a gun-violence death. The available online records do not provide additional personal background, family statements, or ethnicity/race information for Washington.
No reliable online source located reported an arrest in Washington’s death. Because no arrest was found in the available reporting, there are also no publicly reported charges, trial results, convictions, plea agreements, sentencing details, or punishment connected to the case. Based on the available online information, the killing remains publicly unresolved, with the strongest reported lead being the unconfirmed sighting of a masked man fleeing the scene.
