BREAKING UPDATE: Police have arrested a man accused of shooting a Philadelphia Parking Authority worker as well as a New York gas station attendant.
The shooting of McKenzie, the PPA officer, happened on the 4500 block of Frankford Avenue underneath the SEPTA Market-Frankford Line elevated tracks. Investigators said Saulsbury drove up, shot the city employee from behind, and took off. He was struck in the ear and in his shoulder, police said.
A friend and coworker told NBC10 McKenzie is well-known on his beat near Frankford Avenue and Orthodox Street. He was only a couple hours away from the end of his shift. The shooting of Alvi happened at a Sunoco gas station on the 2900 block of Boston Road in the Bronx. Friends said he had been working to support his family in Pakistan.
"[The NYPD] were able to capture video of the suspect fleeing the Sunoco market up there in their case," Walker said."Their victim is locked into the convenient store. The suspect walks up to the door, knocking on the door, looks like he's asking for assistance. As the employee opens the door, [Saulsbury] shoots him twice, hitting him one time in the neck in the same area where he shot our 37-year-old parking authority employee.
