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.

Marijuana and Teens

Many teenagers try marijuana and some use it regularly. Teenage marijuana use is at its highest level in 30 years, and today’s teens are more likely to use marijuana than tobacco. Many states allow recreational use of marijuana in adults ages 21 and over. Recreational marijuana use by children and teenagers is not legal in anywhere in the United States. Today’s marijuana plants are grown differently than in the past and can contain two to three times more tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the ingredient that makes people high. The ingredient of the marijuana plant thought to have some medical benefits, cannabidiol (CBD), has not increased and remains at about 1%.
