A former Philadelphia police officer was charged with murder in the death of a 12-year-old boy who a prosecutor alleged was shot in the back after apparently complying with orders to toss down a gun and get on the ground.
Former undercover cop Edsaul Mendoza was indicted by a grand jury on four charges, including first-degree and third-degree murder.who a prosecutor alleged was shot in the back after apparently complying with orders to toss down a gun and get on the ground.
Siderio was shot after the 26-year-old Mendoza and three other undercover officers in an unmarked car attempted to stop him and a 17-year-old boy who were riding their bicycles in the wrong direction on a street, authorities said. Krasner said Siderio was initially armed with a handgun and likely fired a shot through a rear window of the unmarked police car, setting off the fatal foot chase.
At the time of the last two shots fired by Mendoza, Siderio was unarmed, having discarded a 9mm gun 40 feet from where he was shot, Krasner said."It is certain that Thomas Siderio, at the time he was shot, had stopped running and was possibly surrendering," Krasner said."It is certain that Thomas Siderio, at the time he was shot, was essentially face down on the sidewalk, that he was in a position that approximates sort of a push-up ...
Krasner said immediately after shooting Siderio, Mendoza told another officer where Siderio"threw the gun," and even pointed to the location of the weapon, found on the street at the edge of the sidewalk. "This is the kind of encounter that could cause someone on the street to believe that the people who are pulling up are not police at all, to believe that the people who are pulling up in a climate that is obviously rife with gun violence are pulling up to do them harm and are not law enforcement at all," Krasner said."It is very concerning.
