Family: Victim targeted for witnessing murder | 6abc.com

"WEST KENSINGTON - January 24, 2012 (WPVI) -- In the days before her killing, the sister of the store clerk says she was living in fear after cooperating with police on a murder she had witnessed. She worried that she might end up dead. Now, police sources tell Action News, they believe the same man involved in the murder she witnessed may have killed her, too."

Read the article please.

This is why people do not cooperate with police.

There should be something in place to protect witnesses in murder investigations. Isn't there anything.

If you can please donate to this woman's burial fund.

This is a travesty. If we want a safer city with a lower murder rate, if we want to make the work killadelphia a thing of the past, something must be done to protect the witnesses.

This woman knew she was at risk. She helped anyway. Why wasn't she protected? You should not have to put your own life at risk to do the right thing.

Failure to provide witness protection is in direction violation of the Police Department's sworn oath to serve and PROTECT. If witnesses to crimes are not protected, expect the violence to continue indefinitely...

couldn't agree more with that ...

rules : talk to PPD ...eventually wind up dead
stay quiet .... stay alive

so basically the PPD contributes to the pa murder rate ..

As I posted on another thread, our City is in a State of Emergency - time to call in the National Guard!
Are our Officials' ego so bloated that they rather admit defeat than request assistance from other agencies?
There is no shame in requesting help from State Government, ATF, FBI, DEA, etc. As taxpayers, we are entitled to these State and Federal Services, and the protection from the National Guard. Our Constitutional rights are being violated - Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is no where to be found 'round here...

Not the poor puppies--just the posters.

Like the FBI offices at the William Green Federal Building at 600 Arch Street or the U.S. Marshals Offices at 601 Market Street Suite 2110?
