New details emerge after pregnant woman killed in shooting outside Wawa in Delco: Police

COLLINGDALE, Pa – Investigators in Delaware County are releasing new details about a fatal shooting at a Wawa that killed a pregnant woman and her unborn child.

According to police, the victim was shot while trying to escape. Another woman was charged with murder.

FOX 29’s Greg Payne spoke with neighbors in Collindale who say they are concerned about the recent increase in crime.

Although people in the area say they are sad, they are not surprised by the recent activity that has taken place in the area.

“I saw it’s changed a little bit, not for the better… but what are you going to do?” said Jimmy Grace, who lives nearby.

Grace lives across the street from the Wawa gas station on MacDade Boulevard, which was lit with police lights Saturday night because, according to authorities, two women got into an argument outside the Wawa around 7:20 p.m. that resulted in gunfire.

Police found 32-year-old Latoya Davis dead in the side parking lot with a gunshot wound to her upper body.

“I saw the flashing lights from my living room window, but I didn’t hear anything,” Grace said.

Police have arrested 30-year-old Evelena Williams, who, according to charging documents, fired the fatal shot as Davis ran away from her.

According to authorities, Williams remained at the scene and told police she shot Davis and was authorized to carry a firearm that was recovered at the scene.

Williams faces multiple charges, including first- and third-degree murder, felony murder, recklessly endangering another person, and even first- and third-degree murder of an unborn child because Davis was pregnant.

“It’s terrible, I heard that the pregnant girl died. That’s just really sad. “I don’t know who they were, but it was just really sad… it’s scary because things are just going crazy, and I’m an old peace and lover, but it’s scary,” expressed Cathy Jackson, one Former Collingdale resident expressed her dismay.

Investigators still have not said what sparked the argument that led to the fatal shooting.
