Summary
U.S. Marshals named 19-year-old Khadfi Fleming a person of interest in Monday’s aggravated assault on an off-duty Philadelphia officer and offered a cash reward for information on his whereabouts.
The gunfire erupted after suspected thieves targeted the officer’s Dodge Charger; the officer followed and confronted them, no one was hit, and investigators later found the Charger damaged and a stolen Lexus abandoned.
Fleming has not been charged in the officer shooting, but he was already wanted on a robbery charge tied to the June 6 killing of 22-year-old Penn State student Billy Schmidt.
That case has already led to adult charges against two 16-year-olds in Schmidt’s robbery and shooting, with one arrested in Colorado and the other in custody in Philadelphia.
