SOUTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The reward to help find the suspect who murdered the son of a Philadelphia police chief inspector Saturday night in FDR Park has grown to $35,000.
Twenty-year-old Nicholas Flacco was shot and killed around 10 p.m. on the 1400 block of Pattison Avenue
Nicholas Flacco's father Chris heads the Philadelphia Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit.
A police source told Action News Flacco was home from Penn State University for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. The source said Flacco was tailgating with friends after the Phillies game had ended.
Police said two groups of friends got into an argument in FDR Park, just off Pattison Avenue, and shots were fired.
Flacco was hit in the chest and taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
According to police radio transmissions from the incident released Sunday: "There was a large group in the park here when this happened. They dispersed on Pattison toward Broad Street. A bunch of juveniles. A bystander out here apparently said there was a green car involved, older model sedan like a Honda. It went eastbound on Patterson after it left the park."
Following the shooting, police officers, friends, and loved ones gathered at the hospital.
Parents, use this incident to instruct your sons: when you see two groups of ferals fighting, DO NOT intervene. Just leave the area.
The kind of God who promotes FREE WILL? If you’re not a Christian, you wouldn’t understand free will or how the Savior died for all our sins. We know how it ends. Eternal Life. You either have Faith or you don’t.
Life can suck. It can also be incredibly joyful. Those with faith know/believe that no matter what life is like, eternal life is all joyful. Like it’s said, you either believe or you don’t. I believe.
Astute.
Well said!
What a sad way to view life.
