PHILAELPHIA (WPVI) — Police are investigating new video showing the shooting of a Philadelphia Parking Authority officer.

The brazen attack happened around 4 p.m. last Friday at Block 4500 of Frankford Avenue.

Video shows the suspect approaching the 37-year-old PPA officer from behind and shooting him in the ear and shoulder.

The officer on duty at the time then collapses on the sidewalk before help arrives.

“It’s brave. It’s brazen and something we will definitely do everything we can to resolve it immediately,” Philadelphia Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore said last week.

The injured officer is in stable condition and the PPA and others are praying for his full recovery.

It is still unclear what triggered the shooting.

The PPA officer assigned to the Frankford Borough was well known in the community.

“I talk to him every day. He’s a good guy, a really nice guy,” said Frankford’s Bamba Sisoko.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
