Philadelphia Police say two more arrests have been made in the killing of Officer Richard Mendez at Philadelphia International Airport last week, bringing an end to the search for suspects.
The arrests come just two days after police took 18-year-old Yobranny Martinez-Fernandez into custody. Police believe Yobranny Martinez-Fernandez was among four suspects involved in the deadly shooting that also injured Officer Raul Ortiz and killed suspect Jesús Hernán Madera Durán.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia police identified two additional suspects that were arrested earlier that day for what Mayor Kenney called a "senseless act of violence." Hendrick Pena-Fernandez, 21, from Pennsauken, New Jersey, was taken into custody by New Jersey State Police after a search of his home was unsuccessful. He will also be extradited to the Philadelphia Homicide Unit.
Philadelphia police say "everyone responsible for the shooting is now in custody," including one who died the night of the shooting, the second arrested on Monday, and the two arrested Wednesday.
