Eric Flores, a 50-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Philadelphia, was shot and killed inside Al-Madinah Traders on the 3600 block of Germantown Avenue on January 28, 2021, shortly before 1:00 p.m. A passerby found two men shot inside the store; both Flores and 42-year-old Roy Caban were pronounced dead at the scene. Early reports described one victim shot in the head and the other shot twice in the face, and the scene suggested a sudden, violent attack with few immediate public details about who entered the business or whether the victims were specifically targeted.

Investigators later connected the double homicide to a broader string of shootings and robberies across Pennsylvania and Delaware. Ballistics evidence tied the gun used in the store shooting to other crimes, and authorities identified Keith Gibson as the suspect linked to those scenes. Gibson was arrested on June 8, 2021, and subsequent prosecutions in Delaware resulted in convictions and heavy sentences there; Pennsylvania authorities continued to pursue charges in the Philadelphia killings, with Flores and Caban named among the alleged victims.

If anyone knew Eric Flores, his routines, or what happened at Al-Madinah Traders that afternoon, please share information with investigators.
