Man Found in Kensington Suitcase Identified as 53-Year-Old Vincent Good

Identification lets detectives concentrate interviews, forensic analysis, a search for motive

Overview

  • Police confirmed the remains found inside a suitcase in a Kensington alley were those of 53-year-old Vincent Good of Northeast Philadelphia.
  • The Philadelphia Medical Examiner ruled Good’s death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.
  • Investigators say they believe Good was shot in his Mayfair apartment weeks before the remains were moved and discarded, a conclusion supported by the state of decomposition.
  • Detectives have interviewed four roommates who lived at Good’s apartment and other witnesses, and no suspects have been publicly named or arrested.
  • A person searching for scrap metal discovered the torso in the suitcase and officers later recovered additional remains in two industrial trash bags; police urged anyone with information to contact the homicide unit at (215) 686-3334.
