Philly officer fatally shot after finishing shift

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? Authorities have identified the off-duty Philadelphia police officer who was shot and killed as he walked along a north Philadelphia street, and officials announced rewards totaling $30,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case.

Police say 40-year-old Officer Moses Walker Jr. had just finished his shift early Saturday when he was shot several times about four blocks from the 22nd District station. The 19-year veteran of the force was pronounced dead at Hahnemann University Hospital.

Police say the city is offering a $20,000 reward and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 is offering a $10,000 reward.

Lt. Raymond Evers says Walker's service weapon was found under his body, but police don't know whether it was discharged. They are checking to see if anything was taken from his backpack.
