PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — It’s been more than five years since a man was gunned down in the prime of his life.<\/p>\n
His family is hoping you can help solve the case.<\/p>\n
“He was a good kid. He worked, didn’t bother nobody. Was actually trying to start his own gym,” says Sharon Haughton.<\/p>\n
Navon Wingate’s grandmother says the 29-year-old had plans for his life that never came to fruition.<\/p>\n
Wingate was shot and killed on March 6th, 2021 just before 2:30 in the afternoon on the 2000 block of Anchor Street in the city’s Frankford section.<\/p>\n
It happened on the same street where he lived with his grandmother, as he returned home from running errands for her.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know what it feels to lose a dad like she did, I know it has to be kinda hard on her. Not only did they take away somebody’s child, they took away a father who didn’t get to see his daughter to grow up to become a young adult,” says Haughton.<\/p>\n
Wingate’s daughter was just 8 years old when he was killed.<\/p>\n
His family is hoping someone knows something, and will come forward with information.<\/p>\n
“I just want someone to be accountable for what they did and let us have our day in court so they can see my face. I just hope and pray to god that I live to see that day,” says Haughton.<\/p>\n
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case.<\/p>\n
Just call 215-546-TIPS.<\/p>\n
All calls will remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
