Police identified the victim as 53-year-old Vincent Good and investigators are interviewing his roommates, sources say.
The man found dead in a suitcase in Kensington last week has been identified as 53-year-old Vincent Good of Northeast Philadelphia, police said Thursday.
Police discovered the body of Good in the suitcase on Friday morning on the 600 block of East Hilton Street, authorities said.
Investigators believe Good was shot multiple times and killed in his apartment on the 5700 block of Leonard Street in the city’s Mayfair neighborhood in early May — weeks before his body was discovered, according to police.
The medical examiner’s office ruled that Good’s death from multiple gunshot wounds was a homicide.
Investigators believe Good’s body was put in the suitcase and moved to Kensington, but they have not publicly named any suspects or made an arrest.
A person searching for scrap metal in Kensington initially came across Good’s remains in the suitcase and alerted authorities, police said. Additional remains were discovered by police in two trash bags, they said.
Investigators are interviewing four of Good’s roommates at the apartment where he lived with his girlfriend, according to a law enforcement source.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
