Jeffrey Gavin, 46, of North Philadelphia, was found shot to death on May 14, 2025. Officers discovered his body on the rear first-floor rooftop of a residence in Kensington after responding to a call about a person with a gun on the 1800 block of East Albert Street around 8:45 a.m. Investigators recovered three shell casings inside the home’s rear bedroom, indicating shots had been fired there. The homicide unit has taken over the inquiry; no arrests have been announced and authorities have not established a motive.

On the same day police in Kensington also investigated a separate, deadly triple shooting. Two men were found in a parked pickup on Cambria Street — a 42-year-old driver who was unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head and later died, and a 49-year-old passenger shot multiple times and hospitalized in critical condition. A 40-year-old man arrived at a hospital with a leg wound and was stable. At least 15 shots were fired at close range in that attack; surveillance is being reviewed. Authorities have not confirmed any link between the two incidents.

If anyone saw activity on East Albert Street or Cambria Street on the morning of May 14, or has footage or information that could help, please share it with Philadelphia police.
