The 54-year-old man who was shot and killed by an off-duty Philadelphia homicide detective last week was not armed when he approached the officer’s car and was quickly met with gunfire, according to multiple law enforcement sources and a lawyer representing the decedent’s family.

A man was shot by a police officer in Northeast Philadelphia on Thursday night, authorities said. The shooting happened at the intersection of Holme Avenue and Willits Road at about 11:30 p.m., according to police. The man was taken to a local hospital, police said. His condition isn't known at this time.

The officer opened fire at the 54-year-old man at an intersection in the Academy Gardens neighborhood, investigators say.
