A chaotic Saturday night and early Sunday morning in Philadelphia and police are investigating the death of a teenager, shot and killed by Pennsylvania State troopers.
"Never in my life would I think anything like this would happen," girlfriend Reagan Hoking said.
Hocking says her boyfriend, 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini, Jr., left for what he called a "Car Meet-up" around 10 Saturday night.She says it wasn’t until she saw the aftermath on I-95 herself, near Penn’s Landing, early Sunday morning, along with Anthony’s parents, she realized he wasn’t ever coming home. She says videos sent to her since then have her questioning everything.
"It was just awful. It was awful getting there, not knowing what happened," Hocking described. "It was awful that the investigators would not give us any information."FOX 29 obtained several videos reported to be moments before and after the shooting around 3:30 Sunday morning, including one that shows the aftermath and a trooper standing near a Pennsylvania State Police vehicle and someone on the roadway.FOX 29 reached out to state police for comment on that footage.
Police say, as they attempted to approach one vehicle and its driver, who they identified as Allegrini, Jr., two troopers were hit by the car. Police say one trooper shot Allegrini and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Hocking can’t understand why. "He was just such a beautiful soul. He would always listen to any adult figure that would come up to him. He was always so respectful. He would never be disrespectful to anyone."
