Daily News | Family questions FBI shooting of a suspect in Nicetown-Tioga
attempting to serve an arrest warrant in Philadelphia’s Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood is questioning the circumstances behind the incident.
“They’ve told me nothing,” she said of the FBI. “They were at the hospital. They refused to talk to me. They told the nurses that this was an ongoing situation, and they don’t have to tell me anything.” But officers from that township police department were spotted outside Weeks-Cook’s apartment in North Philadelphia following Friday’s shooting.And in that silence, Weeks and her family’s attorney, Paul Hetznecker, said they’ve heard concerning things from neighbors who witnessed the shooting Friday morning — including that Weeks-Cook was unarmed and fleeing from authorities when he was shot.
“The information that the family has provided is extremely troubling,” Hetznecker said. “I have grave concerns about the independence of any investigation conducted by the FBI without some sort of independent inquiry.”
