The alleged shooter, Ramon Rodriguez Vazquez, is now facing numerous charges, including murder.
Pallbearers prepare to carry body of fallen Philadelphia police officer Jaime Roman into the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024. PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia police officer who recently died from wounds he suffered when he was shot during a traffic stop earlier this year was eulogized Thursday as a dedicated public servant who asked to be assigned to the community where he grew up so he could improve the lives of residents.
Vazquez was the driver of a vehicle that Roman and another officer had stopped, authorities have said. He fled the scene on foot when the officers tried to question him about a gun holster found in the vehicle, but then turned back and started shooting at them with a gun he had in his waistband. Roman was hit in the neck and was taken to a hospital.
