On the morning of Tuesday, May 17, 2022, 27-year-old Giovanni Canales was shot and killed in Philadelphia. The shooting occurred at about 11:30 a.m. on the 1600 block of Margaret Street in the East Frankford neighborhood. Canales was inside a dark gray Nissan Rogue when he was struck six times, including twice in the head. Officers found him lying in the street near the vehicle and he was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:39 p.m.

Police took two people in for questioning that day, but no arrests had been made and no weapons were recovered. Canales, born October 28, 1994, in Camden, New Jersey, was a father who had his young son’s name, Sakia, tattooed on his face; his last known address was on Brill Street in Frankford. A reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
