Alexis Quinn, one of the victims of Saturday's mass shooting on South Street, was a loving and caring woman, according to her family. ”She took care of people in her circle. She always brought people together and held people down.”
Alexis “Lexx” Quinn was enjoying a night out on South Street with her friends, somewhat of a rarity for the 24-year-old whose family described her as a homebody, when gunfire erupted.
Quinn was one of three people fatally shot after multiple gunmen fired at each other on a crowded South Street Saturday night. Eleven others were injured. Like most of the victims, Quinn was a bystander caught in the crosshairs.Alexis was her only daughter, and youngest child. “But we did have a conversation about how she wanted to start going out, doing new things and having fun, enjoying her life,” said Sway, who asked to be identified only by her first name.Alexis’ family described her as a loving, caring young woman who worked as a home health aid. She grew up in Southwest Philadelphia, attended S. Weir Mitchell Elementary School, and finished her education through Job Corps, her mother said. She loved going to the beach, and spending time with her family.
”She took care of people in her circle,” Sway said. “She always brought people together and held people down.”
