Surveillance tape is slay key

In the second incident, Vanore said, about 12:25 a.m. Saturday two uniformed officers assigned to combat violence were trying to disperse a crowd at 24th and Clifford streets, in North Philadelphia.

One officer approached a male, identified as Cephas, of 23rd Street near Edgley.

The other officer, standing nearby, saw Cephas slowly take his handgun out of his waistband and hold it down by his side, said Vanore.

"Drop the gun!" the officer shouted, before firing a fatal shot at Cephas' abdomen, said Vanore. He was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 1:04 a.m.

Earlier on Friday, Cephas had taken his girlfriend, who is in her seventh month of pregnancy, to Temple University Hospital because she was experiencing pain, said his mother, Lisa King.

"He was really worried about her. It was his first child," King said. "He promised his girlfriend he would return later that evening. He did return to the hospital that night, but was dead.

"I'm devastated," King said. "I am going to get to the bottom of what happened."
