Daily News | Philly Police will provide an update Tuesday on the fatal police shooting of a 12-year-old boy
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw is expected to provide an update this afternoon on the fatal police shooting of 12-year-old Thomas “TJ” Siderio, the Police Department said.
The update will come a week after Siderio was fatally shot by officers near 18th and Barbara Streets in South Philadelphia. Police have said four plainclothes officers were in an unmarked car around 7:20 p.m. on March 1, staking out the area after seeing a social media post suggesting a teen there had been carrying a gun.
Police have said that as the officers drove toward TJ and a 17-year-old, who were on bicycles, the officers turned on their flashing lights, then heard gunfire. A rear window shattered, police said, and Camacho was injured in both eyes by shards of glass.
