BREAKING A man who was accused of killing a Philadelphia Police Department chief inspector's son at FDR Park three years ago was found not guilty on all counts.
A gunman arrived in a car a short-time later, had a verbal exchange with Flacco's friends, and fired a shot into the air, investigators said.The gunman fired another round from his revolver into the ground. But the group still wasn't fazed as he stormed off inside the South Philadelphia park, police said.
Police later identified Atkinson as the gunman. On April 3, 2019, Atkinson was arrested and charged in Flacco's death after trying to flee U.S. Marshals by going onto the roof of a fireworks store on the 800 block of Upland Avenue in Chester, Pennsylvania. The defense however said Atkinson was falsely identified as the gunman and pointed to inconsistencies from witnesses.
