Philadelphia homicide detectives said on Sunday the second suspect in the murder of Officer Moses Walker, Jr. is in police custody in Montgomery, Alabama. 19-year-old Chancier McFarland, turned himself in to federal authorities after he had been on the run since the August 18th shooting in which Officer Walker was gunned down. Police now have in custody both suspects in the murder of Officer Walker. Police locked up his alleged accomplice, 23-year-old Rafael Jones, on Wednesday.

It was a solemn procession on Sunday afternoon, as slain Officer Moses Walker’s casket was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the North Philadelphia church where his viewing was to be held. People lined Lehigh Avenue in somber silence, watching as the horse-drawn caisson made its way by. At the head of the column, Mayor Michael Nutter and Commissioner Charles Ramsey. Police commanders and Walker’s colleagues from the 22nd District followed in the procession to the Deliverance Evangelical Church for his viewing.

Penn State University trustees ended a two-day meeting in State College about how to repair the university’s image following the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. A presentation by the board’s public-relations consultant unexpectedly sparked a discussion about using Penn State’s Sept. 1 home football game against Ohio University as the vehicle for a variety of promotional gimmicks to draw attention to Penn State’s athletic and academic track records.
