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.
Following a swift investigation by Homicide detectives, four suspects have been taken into custody:
- Offender #1 (53-year-old female), who faces charges of murder and related offenses.
- Offender #2 (55-year-old female), who has been charged with abuse of a corpse and related offenses.
- Offender #3 (32-year-old female) & Offender #4 (33-year-old male): Charges are pending
While arrests have been made, the active investigation into the underlying motive continues. Anyone with further information regarding this case is urged to contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334.
