PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is seeking the public’s help locating 10 fugitives wanted for homicides that took place in Philadelphia since 2019.

“I have a message for Philadelphians: Help us find these people who are hurting our communities,” said Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal in a statement. “Some of you know where these wanted individuals are. Help us take these perpetrators off the streets. If you are harboring them and don’t want us knocking on your door, help turn them in. We need your assistance.”

Fugitives include:

Brandon Brooks, who is accused of fatally shooting a 26-year-old man on the 6200 block of Chestnut Street on March 4, 2022.

“While robust forensic resources are critically important for helping the Philadelphia Police Department solve gun homicides and build strong cases for prosecution, law enforcement cannot hold drivers of gun violence accountable without the public’s assistance,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.

“With the public’s help, we can hopefully bring some measure of closure to the families and communities of those lost to this terrible violence. And to those who are currently wanted: Make this a softer landing by turning yourself in. Reach out to a faith leader or a family member and ask for their help in making this easier for everyone involved.”

Those with information about these suspects’ whereabouts should call the Philadelphia Police Department’s crime tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or email Tips@PhillyPolice.com. Callers may remain anonymous.
