PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A family is still searching for answers months after a father of four was gunned down in his own car.<\/p>\n
It was just days after Christmas in 2025, when 39-year-old Dion Abraham was brutally murdered.<\/p>\n
“The way he was murdered and how he was murdered, it really affected the family very hard,” says Leonard Brown, Abraham’s father.<\/p>\n
Police found him shot multiple times while sitting inside a silver Nissan Maxima along the 3600 block of North 17th Street in North Philadelphia on December 29.<\/p>\n
He clung to life for nearly a half hour before succumbing to his injuries.<\/p>\n
“Dion was a loving, caring dad,” says Brown.<\/p>\n
Abraham was a father of four children and had moved to Abington, Montgomery County.<\/p>\n
His father says he was raised in North Philadelphia, and would visit the area often.<\/p>\n
“If you know something, come forward so the family can have some type of closure about what happened and why,” says Brown.<\/p>\n
There is a $20,000 reward being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the shooting death of Dion Abraham.<\/p>\n
If you have any information, you’re urged to call 215-546-TIPS.<\/p>\n
All calls will remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
