Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the killing of a Philadelphia man seven years ago on I-95.

Naython Brown, 33, was found dead on the night of Oct. 18, 2019, in a grassy median along the highway near Exit 4 in Chester Township, Delaware County, authorities said. He had been shot in the head, according to state police.
