HONORING OUR<br />
POLICE OFFICER RICHARD MENDEZ<br />
Police Officer Richard Mendez was shot and killed at the Philadelphia International Airport’s Garage D at about <strong>11</strong>:00<br />
p.m. He and his partner arrived in the parking garage, preparing to start their shift, when they observed subjects breaking<br />
into a vehicle. As they approached the men, the subjects fired at them. Officer Mendez was struck multiple times,<br />
and his partner was shot in the arm. Officer Mendez was transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he<br />
succumbed to his wounds at <strong>11</strong>:34 p.m. The suspects fled in a stolen vehicle. One of the suspects, who died from<br />
gunshot wounds, was dropped off at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The rest of the suspects remained at large<br />
until October 16, 2023, when an 18-year-old suspect was arrested.<br />
Officer Mendez had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for almost 23 years and was assigned to the<br />
Airport Unit. He is survived by his wife and daughter.<br />
