PHILADELPHIA - One of two suspects who was wanted in connection with the murder of a Philadelphia officer’s adult son has turned himself in to police.
Police say Levar Turner, 23, turned himself in at the Philadelphia Public Services Building in on Friday morning, days after authorities released new surveillance video from the deadly incident.
Authorities say Turner will face murder, robbery, and criminal conspiracy charges and that a second suspect remains at large."The news that I got this morning was overwhelming," Edwenna Ferguson, mother of victim Hyram Hill and an 18-year veteran Philadelphia police officer, stated in an emotional press conference. "I want to thank the public for their help, the Philly Police Department.
The Homicide Unit…they did an amazing job."Hyram Hill Turner's arrest comes almost three months after Hyram Hill Jr., 24, was shot and killed following what investigators believe was an attempted robbery near Broad Street and Allegheny Avenue.
