On the morning of August 7, 2024, 32-year-old Daniel McHale was found suffering from three gunshot wounds to his chest on the 1100 block of West Girard Avenue in North Philadelphia. He was taken by Philadelphia Police officers to Temple University Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival.

Known to many as Kel and called Mannyunk by his mother, Robin Clark, Daniel was remembered for a kind heart and for looking after elderly neighbors in the York Town community. He grew up in the family home his grandparents purchased and played youth football for the Black Hawks from age seven to fourteen; his mother recalled he once tattooed her name on his neck.

The Philadelphia Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting and urged anyone with information to come forward; a $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone knew Daniel or saw activity on West Girard Avenue that morning, please share what you know with investigators.
