The surveillance camera in the parking lot then shows the three robbers walking slowly toward the Jeep. The one identified as Floyd puts the box in the backseat and gets behind the wheel. And the Jeep pulls away.
Minutes later, Liczbinski, responding to the reported robbery, stops the Jeep at Almond and Schiller Streets about four blocks from the supermarket and is gunned down.
Shortly after the killing, police captured Warner, 39, who was charged with murder, and killed Cain, 34. They said Cain was clutching the Chinese-made SKS carbine he used to kill the sergeant when police shot him in a showdown in Feltonville.
Police yesterday said they had charged Cain's uncle with carjacking the Jeep.
Mitchell Cain, 49, of the 200 block of North 61st Street, was arrested Sunday after investigators determined he participated in the hijacking Friday in North Philadelphia. Like his nephew, he has a long history of criminal violence, including a 1997 guilty plea for manslaughter for which he served six years in prison.
Mitchell Cain is charged with robbery, carjacking, firearms violations and related offenses.
