PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — It has been more than 6 years since a man was found shot to death inside his home in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
His loved ones are hoping someone will come forward with information that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n
“It’s very heart breaking, and for his children and other family members just as well. He wasn’t just a son or brother, nephew, whatever, he was a protector,” says Karen Adam.<\/p>\n
Anthony Abel’s mother is still trying to come to terms with her son’s murder.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old Abel was found shot numerous times in a chair in his bedroom along the 200 block of Montana Street in East Mount Airy on April 17th, 2020.<\/p>\n
“Me as a mother will never get over it,” says Adam.<\/p>\n
Abel’s mother says she sent one of his nephews and an uncle to check on him after no one had heard from him for several days.<\/p>\n
Authorities determined he had been shot three days prior to being discovered.<\/p>\n
“If you’ve seen anybody come in or out of my son’s house, or you see anybody running out or heard anything please come forward to the police,” says Adam.<\/p>\n
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the murder of Anthony Abel.<\/p>\n
The number to call is 215-546-TIPS.<\/p>\n
All calls will remain anonymous.
