DELAWARE COUNTY, Pa. (WPVI) — Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 reward for information that solves the 2019 murder of a man who was shot and killed while his car was broken down on Interstate 95 in Delaware County.
Troopers said they are hoping a reward would encourage someone to come forward to help them solve this cold case from exactly seven years ago.
Naython Brown, 33, was found dead after a report of a body in the grassy median of I-95, near the exit to the Commodore Barry Bridge, on Oct. 18, 2019, according to police.
Troopers said Brown had a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators said Brown was driving his Chevy Monte Carlo from Philadelphia to Chester on I-95 South when he caught a flat tire around 9:30 p.m.
He was shot and killed while waiting for assistance to fix the tire, according to troopers.
In 2020, Brown’s aunt Lisshon Brown told Action News, “Nate was fun, he was loving, a hard worker, he loved working at SEPTA so proud of that.”
She described her nephew as the “heart and soul” of their family.
“He, you know, just did everything for the family. If he needed to help out financially, if he needed you just to talk to, lecture the young kids about doing better and being better,” she said.
“We don’t know if it’s random. We don’t know if it’s somebody he knows. We don’t know anything and we need help finding out,” she said. “Just imagine if this has happened to anybody in your family. You know you would want justice, you would want to know what happened because he did not deserve this.”
