Four Arrested in Connection to Kensington Homicide Investigation

The Philadelphia Police Department’s Homicide Unit has arrested four individuals in connection with the death of 53-year-old Vincent Good, whose remains were discovered inside a suitcase and industrial trash bags in a Kensington alleyway last week.

On Friday, May 22, 2026, at approximately 9:25 a.m., 25th District officers responded to a report of a hospital case at 6XX E. Hilton Street. A witness searching for scrap material reported finding a human upper torso inside a discarded suitcase. A subsequent police investigation uncovered additional human remains in an early stage of decomposition inside two large trash bags. Responding medical personnel pronounced the victim deceased at 9:28 a.m. The Office of the Medical Examiner has since identified the victim as Good, a resident of the 5700 block of Leonard Street, and ruled his death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

New research details PFAS prevalence in the Delaware River Basin

The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) is sharing the latest results of extensive field investigation and monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in PFAS Water Quality and Fish Tissue Assessment Study, a report marking more than 20 years of dedicated research into so-called forever chemicals within the Delaware River Basin.

The new research confirms PFAS contamination is both widespread and persistent in the Delaware River and selected tributaries. Surface water concentrations are increasing at a faster rate than water volume as the river moves downstream into Delaware Bay, suggesting there are ongoing inputs from unknown sources like industrial facilities, wastewater discharges and stormwater.

DeAngelo Energy Reliability Bills Clear Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities Committee

Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Wayne P. DeAngelo that would establish a pathway for advanced nuclear energy development in New Jersey cleared the Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities Committee today. Bill A4881, known as the “Powering Opportunity, Workforce, and Energy Reliability for New Jersey Act,” seeks to strengthen energy reliability, support workforce opportunities, and help meet the state’s future energy needs.
The “Power NJ Act” would direct the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), in collaboration with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA), to establish a program for procuring advanced nuclear energy facilities in the state. The legislation would create a process for evaluating and approving projects that can help address growing energy demands while ensuring benefits for ratepayers and maintaining system reliability.
“As New Jersey strives to meet growing energy demands, we need to be proactive in pursuing reliable and forward-looking solutions,” said Assemblyman DeAngelo (D-Mercer, Middlesex). “Advanced nuclear technology has the potential to strengthen our energy infrastructure, support good-paying jobs, and provide a stable source of power that can meet future needs. This bill is about building a strong energy future while making sure we are creating opportunities and protecting ratepayers.”
Under the bill, interested entities would submit proposals for advanced nuclear projects through a process overseen by the BPU. Projects would be evaluated based on their ability to improve reliability and resilience, contribute to capacity needs, and provide value for ratepayers. The legislation would also lay the groundwork for the establishment of a Reliability Capacity Certificate program. The program would be designed to support approved projects while allowing certain revenues generated by facilities to be returned to New Jersey consumers.
In addition to A4881, the committee also advanced two other bills sponsored by Assemblyman DeAngelo focused on strengthening the state’s energy infrastructure. Bill A4882, the “New Jersey Natural Gas Modernization Act,” would establish expedited permitting pathways for certain qualifying energy projects to support system reliability and infrastructure upgrades. Bill A1072 would direct the BPU to establish a distributed energy storage incentive program.

McCutcheon, an Early Childhood Education major, leads the team in pitching victories (21), ERA (0.99), innings pitched (170.0), complete games (17), and shutouts (6). In those 170 innings of work, the lefthander has tallied 99 strikeouts to just 14 walks. During the Profs’ current postseason run, McCutcheon was named the most valuable player of the NCAA Marshall Regional and the most outstanding pitcher of the NCAA Glassboro Super Regional. She also was named to the NFCA All-Region and NJAC All-Conference teams.

She is part of a pitching staff that boasts a 1.34 team ERA with an 0.97 WHIP and 20 total shutouts for the 42-9 Profs.

Rowan opens play at the 2026 NCAA Division III World Series on Thursday, taking on top-seeded Virginia Wesleyan at 11 a.m. from the Moyer Sports Complex in Salem, Virginia. The eight-team, double-elimination playoffs run through June 3rd.
