Frank Powell, a 57-year-old plumber from Darby, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on December 16, 2018, in Colwyn, Delaware County. He was found dead near his work van on Francis Street at about 6 p.m. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a gunman walking down Francis Street, shooting Powell at close range, and then walking away.

Powell was well known in the neighborhood for helping others with plumbing needs. Family, friends and the mayor expressed shock and sorrow, and a vigil was held where loved ones gathered to pray and remember him. No arrests have been announced and the Colwyn Police Department is asking the public for help identifying and locating the person shown on video.

If anyone saw activity on Francis Street that evening or knows anything about the footage, please share information with the Colwyn Police.
