Philadelphia police are seeking help from the public to find a man who, they said, shot and killed a woman inside a home in Kensington last month.
Abiud Torres, 20, is accused of shooting and killing 35-year-old Tatiana Vargas on Dec. 23 on the 3100 block of Hartville Street, according to police.
Joey Vargas, told NBC10's Aaron Baskerville that he had warned his daughter about Torres before her death.
"She told me little stuff, and like I said, I'm a guy from North Philadelphia and I told her 'he's no good,' said the victim's father. "You just hear the word, the street word, he's no good. I never met him. I don't know him."

NBC10 learned that the pair had only been dating about two months before Vargas was shot and killed.
The elder Vargas said that his grandson told him that, on the night of the slaying, he was playing video games and he heard Vargas and Torres arguing -- "Like they always did," the victim's father noted -- and the boy heard a gunshot.
The victim's family told NBC10 that Vargas was shot in the shoulder, and Torres, allegedly remained for a moment after the shooting, crying over her body before the gunman fled.
"Whoever's hiding you or whatever they doing, [it's] just making things worse, because this guy can kill your sister, your mother even your own son, you never know," said the elder Vargas.
Police describe Torres as five foot nine inches tall, 170 pounds and consider him armed and dangerous.
The city is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
If anyone has information about his whereabouts should contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or dial 911.
