Homicide Victim Identified

The Philadelphia Police Department’s Homicide Unit is actively investigating the death of 53-year-old Vincent Good after his 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, where 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, and 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. No motive has been established, and no arrests have been made at this time.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334. Updates will be shared as they become available.
