PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A woman was found stabbed to death in her Philadelphia home after a medical examination.
Three years later, police and the victim’s family are still searching for answers.
Tianna Wells, 25, lived in a rooming house along the 2600 block of North 17th Street in North Philadelphia.
Neighbors said she was a kind person who sold clothing under the brand name GSV (God Speaks Volumes).
After not hearing from her for days, police responded to her on June 16, 2021, to conduct a welfare check.
“Once officers entered the residence, the victim had been stabbed in the neck and was subsequently pronounced deceased,” said Citizens Crime Commissioner John Apeldoorn.
The family said their cellphone and wallet were stolen, and they did not appear to have a knife with them.
The family said they would borrow it if they needed it.
The City of Philadelphia is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators.
Simply call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls remain anonymous.
“It’s been three years since this murder was recorded and we hope there’s someone out there who will remember the almost-broken relationship with a friend or neighbour and call us. Police need your help to solve this case,” Apeldoorn said.
