PHILADELPHIA - A local husband, father, and artist lost his life to gun violence on Labor Day and now his family wants answers after police released surveillance video of the suspect and the suspected vehicle on Monday night.
50-year-old Charles Gossett, known to many as Chali Khan, was well-known in the music and arts world. Nearly a month after someone shot Gossett to death, police released video of the suspected killer and now Gossett's family is speaking out. "All I feel now is pain and anger," said Linda Cruz, Gossett's sister.
Family members say at around 2:00 a.m. on September 5, Gossett was walking to his car after leaving a birthday party for a friend, which included a performance by Philadelphia rappers Chris and Neef.
The party was held at the Blue Brook Club in Overbrook and Gossett's last social media post that night captures the moments before he was shot in the back of the head on North 56th Street.
