Family speaks after fatal stabbing in North Philadelphia: 'Still seems like it's not true'

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A woman has been charged with murder following a stabbing in North Philadelphia.

Police say 24-year-old Zayahshay Davis was apprehended in the area of 12th and Huntingdon Streets on Wednesday night.

Davis was being sought in connection with the stabbing death of 28-year-old Sariah Conover.

The stabbing occurred just before 6 p.m. Monday in the 1300 block of West Lehigh Avenue, police said.

Neighbors say a fight broke out before the stabbing. A video posted online, which is now under investigation by police, shows a woman walking across the street, holding what appears to be a large knife.

Sources tell Action News the women were dating the same man, and that a local social media influencer may have organized the fight and live-streamed when it became deadly.

Investigators have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Terry Wright, Conover's grandmother, is struggling with the loss of the granddaughter she raised.

"It still seems like it's not true to me. Every time I walk past her door, I expect her to come out and say, 'Good morning, grandmom.' It's hard, it's hard, it's hard," said Wright.

She says both Davis and the influencer should be held accountable.

Davis is being held without bail.

Anyone with information is urged to call 215-686-TIPS.
