Raising awareness for “Jay Alerts” in West Philadelphia
A Philadelphia mother continues to push for change after her daughter was the victim of a hit and run.
In 2016, 8-year-old Jayanna Powell was killed after she was hit by a car on 63rd Street and Lansdowne Avenue. She is the inspiration behind a senate bill that would create "Jay Alerts,” similar to Amber Alerts but would give information on a car wanted in a hit and run.
An event on Saturday in West Philly raised awareness for the bill.
