Roman, 31, a six-year veteran of the force, was shot by a suspect in Kensington in June and died from his injuries last week, police said.
Around 5:15 a.m., the hearse carrying Roman’s casket will be escorted from a funeral home in Northeast Philadelphia to Police Headquarters on North Broad Street, the Police Department said. Then, at 6 a.m., Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, Commissioner Kevin Bethel, and other police leaders will escort the hearse to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, where there will be a viewing open to the public for several hours.Around 11 a.m.
While waiting for a tow truck to haul the car away, police said, the officers searched the car and discovered a gun holster tucked beneath a seat. When they attempted to confront Vazquez about it, police said, he ran away, then turned back and started shooting at them with a gun he had in his waistband.
Vazquez, meanwhile, ran away after the shooting, first seeking cover in a nearby garage, then attempting to carjack a minivan, according to police.
