Philadelphia police identify body found in suitcase, trash bags in Kensington alleyway

The Philadelphia Police Department on Thursday identified the body found in a suitcase and industrial trash bags in an alleyway in Kensington last week as 53-year-old Vincent Good.

Police said Good's body was found in a suitcase and trash bags last week in an alleyway in the 600 block of East Hilton Street.

Investigators said officers responded to a call shortly before 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 22, after they say a witness who was searching for scrap material found Good's body inside a suitcase.

Homicide detectives found additional human remains in two large trash bags, police said. They said the remains were in an early stage of decomposition.

The city's medical examiner ruled Good's death a homicide and said he died by multiple gunshots, according to police.

No arrests have been made, and police are still searching for a motive.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the homicide unit at 215-686-3334 or call the tip line at 215-686-TIPS.
