Authorities plan to announce more arrests Wednesday in an airport parking garage shooting that killed a Philadelphia police officer and wounded another last week. Police on Monday said at least two other suspects were being sought as they announced the arrest of Yobranny Martinez Fernandez, 18, of Camden County before dawn in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He was being held in that state on a fugitive warrant. Authorities said Officers Richard Mendez and Raul Ortiz had just arrived at work about 11 p.
Mendez, 50, who had been on the force for more than two decades, was shot four times and pronounced dead at a hospital. Authorities said the slain officer’s handcuffs were placed on the suspect at the time of his arrest. Ortiz, a 20-year veteran of the force, was shot once in the arm and was released from the hospital Saturday.
