Elijah Rivers, 22, was fatally shot on the night of January 30, 2023, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Police found him on North Meade Street with a gunshot wound to the chest after reports of gunfire near Coal Street and Logan Court just before midnight. He was taken to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center and later died; an autopsy ruled the death a homicide.
Investigators say the shooting arose from an ongoing dispute and describe it as an ambush. Surveillance footage allegedly showed three suspects traveling by car from a local business called SGS Studios to North Meade Street. Court records name Breanna Marie Knight, 28, as the driver of a white Ford Focus and Kadeen Karon Carruth, 21, and Yuamir S. Grayson, 28, as the shooters. Police recovered .40-caliber and .45-caliber shell casings at the scene; a witness later said the group had killed the wrong Eli.
