Suspect carrying concealed rifle wanted after man fatally shot in Logan, police say

PHILADELPHIA - Police are asking for the public help to identify a man wanted in connection to a homicide last month in Logan.

A 33-year-old man was shot to death on the 1300 block of Windrim Avenue on June 29, authorities say. Police later identified the victim as Mark Slade.

One Slade's relatives anonymously spoke with FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce.

"I just pray and hope that you know, this guy’s being caught because his picture is super clear," the family member said. "Somebody knows him and somebody needs to speak up."

Surveillance video released by police shows a man allegedly armed with a rifle concealed inside a duffel bag. He has a goatee and is wearing a "Prestige" hooded sweatshirt. 

Police say this man is a suspect, and they want to question him in connection to the Slade's death.

Mayor Kenney told FOX 29's Kelly Rule during the city's weekly gun violence update on Tuesday that he had not met with any homicide victims' families this year. A few hours later, Kenney released a statement clarifying his words at the press conference, saying he has engaged some families whose loved ones were injured or killed by violence. 

Slade's family member says they wish that the mayor had reached out to them during their time of grief and that the city leaders need to do more to quell the violence. 

"I think it's senseless, and it's getting worse by the day," they said.   

Anyone with information regarding Slade's murder is asked to contact Philadelphia Police at 215-686-8477.
