More than 100 members of the community gathered in West Philadelphia to remember a Parks and Rec employee who was shot and killed.
"It’s like she’s here. She’s not here, but we can feel her spirit here with us," Fletcher’s cousin Elaine Johnson said.Johnson cannot believe Tiffany is really gone. The 41-year-old was shot and killed Friday about 1:30 in the afternoon, while on her break at the Mill Creek rec center, after police say two groups of teens started firing. Tiffany was caught in the middle."I’m just hurt. I’m just devastated. She was a good person. A good soul.
Another shooting that the mayor calls brazen and unconscionable, taking the life of a dedicated city worker trying to make lives better."A happy person and a cheerful person, always wanting to help somebody. Always wanting to help the kids," brother-in-law Kenny Reggie Washington described Tiffany. "I think we need to put the guns down and put the gloves up, because when we were young, in the 80s, we fought. We had the guns, but we didn’t use them," family friend Peter Sparrow explained. "It’s like the kids have guns and they wanna shoot the guns."
Police say they have a 14-year-old in custody, but they are still looking for more. Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact police. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
