A source gave the declaration of probable cause to the journalist Steve Keeley, who tweeted that the entire incident had been “recorded on security cams.”

“Officer Fitzgerald reported being in a foot pursuit over the police radio. Officer Fitzgerald was found by responding police officers in the 1700 block of Montgomery Avenue with several gunshot wounds to the face and upper chest. “Officer Fitzgerald was declared deceased at 7:27 p.m. after being taken right away to Temple University Hospital,” the author said.

“Officer Fitzgerald was pursuing a man wearing only black clothing on foot westbound on Montgomery Ave. Just east of 18th Street, the officer and the individual are caught up, and a scuffle ensues, according to Keeley in the Twitter thread.

He claimed that Officer Fitzgerald continuously yelled at the man to “get on the ground.” Officer Fitzgerald is then shown being shot by the man with a handgun as he is knocked to the ground. The man then approaches Officer Fitzgerald and shoots several more times into his head and face.

According to Keeley, the man then reaches down and tries to seize the officer’s service weapon, but he cannot remove it from its holster. He also checks the pockets of the unresponsive officer. The individual then goes north on 18th Street while fleeing westward. The guy may be seen confronting a second victim in other footage taken on North 18th.
