Philadelphia police have released images of two men they want to question in the suspicious death of a 50-year-old man found severely injured last week.
Officers were called to the 2400 block of Federal Street around 7 p.m. last Monday for a report of a burglary in progress.
When they arrived, police found Amadou Thiam unresponsive and unclothed in the rear of the property with severe head injuries.
He was taken to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital in critical condition and died on Wednesday morning.
A man who lives in the neighborhood, who did not want to be identified, said the news was difficult to process.
“Not really expected, you know what I mean, like you just don’t know when you’re gonna go, you know, when it’s your time,” he said.
The victim’s neighbors spoke to Action News off-camera, saying that they are still shaken. They said Thiam was social and often seen coming and going because of his job as a flight attendant.
Homicide detectives are now leading the investigation and hope the release of surveillance images will help identify the two men they want to question.
Police described one suspect as a man with a thin build, wearing a black jacket over a red Puma hoodie, jeans and black sneakers with white soles, and carrying a black shoulder bag with a red stripe.
The second man is described as having a medium build, bald head and a neatly trimmed beard. He was last seen wearing a gray coat and black pants.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
