The Philadelphia Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in locating Najee Williams, who is wanted in connection with two separate shootings involving tow truck drivers.
The first incident occurred on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, at about 12:17 p.m. Officers responding to a call at 4200 Torresdale Ave. discovered 20-year-old David Garcia-Morales inside a 2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty towing vehicle. Garcia-Morales, who had been shot in the neck and thigh, was transported to Temple University Hospital but succumbed to his injuries on Dec. 26.
Williams is also wanted for a second shooting that took place on Sunday, Jan. 11, of this year. At about 7:52 p.m., officers responded to the 2100 block of Knorr St., where they found 25-year-old Aaron Whitfield suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and body inside a tow truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, a 21-year-old woman, was shot in the left leg during the same incident and was transported to Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital in stable condition.
On Jan. 28, the District Attorney’s Office approved murder charges against Williams.
Williams is considered armed and dangerous. Members of the public are cautioned to not approach him. As with all homicide cases in Philadelphia, there is a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information on Williams’ whereabouts is urged to call the PPD tipline at 215-686-TIPS (8477). ••
