Philadelphia: Officer Involved Shooting

On Thursday, July 2, 2026, at approximately 10:21 a.m., Philadelphia Police officers responded to the area of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children after being dispatched for a report of a person with a weapon. During the subsequent investigation, it was determined that the original 9-1-1 caller, a family member, contacted police out of concern that the male was experiencing a mental health crisis and was suicidal. Subsequent investigation also revealed that around the time of the 9-1-1 call from the family member, the male had been directed away from the hospital by security because he had been asked to leave the day before and was no longer permitted on the property. The male complied and left without incident. 

Upon arrival, two 25th District police officers, P/O Azieme Lindsey, and Officer A, who were in full uniform and operating a marked police vehicle, were met by a hospital security officer, who directed them to a nearby bus stop where the individual had last been seen. Officers then observed a 32-year-old Black male standing with a 29-year-old Black female.

As Officer Lindsey exited the patrol vehicle and approached, the male began moving backward while simultaneously removing a handgun from his waistband. At that time, Officer Lindsey discharged his department-issued firearm, striking the male multiple times.

FBI Increases Carvajal Murder Reward

Nearly five years after 19-year-old Chrys Carvajal was gunned down in a senseless act of gang violence, the FBI is renewing its call for justice with an increased reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of fugitive Joseph Matos.

Carvajal had recently completed Army National Guard basic training and returned home to Chicago to spend Fourth of July weekend with family and friends. On July 3, 2021, as he walked to his vehicle after attending a party in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the city’s North Side, investigators say he was approached by Matos and Gary Roberson, two alleged members of the Milwaukee Kings street gang, and fatally shot.

Authorities allege the attack was likely committed to enhance the shooters’ standing within the gang.

“Chrys Carvajal had no gang affiliation whatsoever,” said FBI Chicago Supervisory Special Agent Michael Zoufal, who heads the Bureau’s Second City Gang Task Force, which is investigating the case. “He wasn’t known to these individuals. There was no connection. Unfortunately, it was simply a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
