PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia police are on a manhunt for a 27-year-old they said killed two tow truck drivers over the last two months in the city’s Northeast neighborhoods.
The first incident occurred on Dec. 22, 2025, along Torresdale Avenue and Tackawanna Street just before 12:30 p.m. It was there that police found 20-year-old David Garcia-Morales shot in the neck and thigh inside a 2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty. He was taken to a hospital and died the day after Christmas.
A few weeks later, on Jan. 11, police responded to Knorr Street, near Bustleton Avenue in the Oxford Circle neighborhood, and found 25-year-old Aaron Whitfield dead inside a tow truck. Police said he had multiple bullet wounds to his head and body. During that same incident, a 21-year-old woman was shot in the leg but survived.
According to court records, 27-year-old Najee Williams had a previous aggravated assault conviction, accused of shooting someone in 2019 while they were driving.
Investigators caution that Williams is armed and dangerous. They said if you see him, don’t approach him. Call in with a tip at 215-686-8477.
There’s a $20,000 reward for his arrest and conviction.
