A GoFundMe created by Conover’s sister, Seyveonna Conover, describes the victim as a talented hairstylist who brought people together through her “warm heart” and caring nature.

“My sister was a big sister of four, a younger sister of one, a cherished granddaughter, and a beloved niece to so many in our family,” the fundraiser reads.

Her family said she “had a special gift for bringing people together” and “always found ways to make those around her feel cared for and supported.”

The fundraiser further alleges Conover was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend’s child’s mother. Police have not publicly released details about the relationship between Davis and Conover.

As of Wednesday afternoon, more than $700 had been raised toward a $5,000 goal to help cover funeral and memorial expenses.

Anyone with information about Davis’ whereabouts is asked to contact Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling or texting 215-686-TIPS (8477).
