Crime Fighters 6abc: Welfare check ends with Tianna Wells found stabbed to death in her Philadelphia home; family still looking for answers

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A wellness check ended with the discovery of a woman stabbed to death in her Philadelphia home.

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 say she was kind and sold clothing under her brand GSV, which stands for God Speaks Volumes.

After days of not hearing from her, police responded to a health check on June 16, 2021.

“When they entered the residence, they discovered the victim had been stabbed in the neck and was later pronounced dead,” said John Apeldorn with the Citizens Crime Commission.

His family claims his phone and wallet were stolen. They also believe she did not have a knife on hand.

The family said if they ever needed it, they would borrow it.

The City of Philadelphia is offering up to a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

All you have to do is call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls will remain anonymous.

“It's been three years since this recorded murder and we hope that someone will remember something that could be a disintegrating relationship with a friend, a neighbor and make that call. Police need your help to solve this case” , said Apeldorn.
