Zykia Sanders - killed by a stray bullet in Philadelphia

Zykia Sanders, age 22, died on November 17, 2012, in the Powelton district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Friends said that Zykia was leaving a birthday party on Saturday, just after 2 a.m. She and a group were walking to a store when suddenly, several unknown suspects in a four-door sedan fired several shots. 15 to 20 shots were fired and one of them struck Zykia as she tried to run away. 

She was found along the 4000 block of Holden Street outside of an apartment complex. She was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where she was pronounced dead at 2:35 a.m.

Police state that Zykia was not the intended victim of this shooting and was killed by a stray bullet. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

God help us.  Can we not walk the streets in the night any more without taking our life in our hands? 
Mary, pray for
Zykia
