Teen Accused of Killing Temple University Cop Tried to Rob Officer as He Lay Dying​

Philadelphia Police Department
An 18-year-old man is set to be charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a Temple University police officer, the Philadelphia district attorney’s office said Sunday.
The suspect, identified as Miles Pfeffer, also faces charges of murder of a law enforcement officer, robbery, carjacking, and weapons crimes in the death of officer Christopher Fitzgerald, according to the district attorney.
Pfeffer was arrested in a multi-agency effort at his Bucks County home on Sunday morning without incident, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The 18-year-old was taken into custody using a pair of Fitzgerald’s handcuffs.

“It’s a tradition that we do any time there’s a fallen officer,” Supervisor Deputy U.S Marshal Rob Clark said, according to WPVI-TV.




Multiple weapons were also seized from the home, which belongs to Pfeffer’s mother, sources told CBS Philadelphia. The mother, who was home at the time of the arrest, was also taken into custody for questioning.

Pfeffer is not eligible for bail, officials confirmed. Sources told FOX 29 that he was known to local law enforcement in Bucks County.


Fitzgerald, 31, was fatally wounded while responding to an incident near campus on Saturday night, police said.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by FOX 29, the suspect was caught on video surveillance firing at Fitzgerald after a brief pursuit on foot and struggle. It alleges that, after Fitzgerald fell to the ground, the suspect stood “over him and [fired] several more shots into the face and head area.”

A Temple student told CBS Philadelphia that the gunfire had startled her. “I heard like eight gunshots,” she said. “Just in shock, couldn't believe it was happening so close to us.”
“Pfeffer is also alleged to have attempted to rob Officer Fitzgerald of his gun and to have gone through his pockets, while the officer was laying on the ground and fatally wounded,” District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a Sunday statement. “Pfeffer is further alleged to have committed a carjacking a short time after, close to the location of the officer’s murder.”



The affidavit goes on to say that the suspect can be heard on video confronting the carjacking victim, telling them, “Give me the keys, or I’ll kill you.” After fleeing in the vehicle, according to the affidavit, the suspect was then picked up by his mother, who took him home.

Fitzgerald joined the university police in October 2021, the department said Sunday. Jason Wingard, Temple University’s president, said he was “heartbroken” over the incident, calling it “a gut-wrenching reminder of our police officers’ daily bravery and sacrifices to protect our students, faculty, staff and community.”

“Officer Fitzgerald gave his life to selflessly serve and defend this community,” Jennifer Griffin, the university’s vice president for public safety, said in a statement. “This loss leaves an enormous hole in all of our hearts. He was a father, a husband, a son, a colleague, and a friend.”

Fitzgerald was also the son of the Fort Worth Police Department’s former chief, Joel Fitzgerald, officials confirmed to KUSA. On Sunday, the Fort Worth Police Department issued a statement on Fitzgerald’s death, saying they honored his “selfless service and dedication to protecting and serving the public.”

Fitzgerald’s death marks the first fatal shooting of a campus police officer at Temple University in more than three decades, Ken Kaiser, the university’s senior vice president and chief operating officer, told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“It just shakes everybody to the core,” Kaiser said.

Fitzgerald leaves behind a wife and four children, according to a GoFundMe set up for his family.

“Not all heroes wear capes, and Chris definitely was a hero to this community,” Fitzgerald’s cousin told CBS Philadelphia. “He just didn't have a cape.”

What is a rich white boy doing jacking cars in the hood?
Is it possible that he knows there's so much crime happening in that area regardless anyway, that he thought it would go under the radar? If not, he's just dumb as fukk.

R.I.P. to Officer Fitzgerald. That article said:

"Fitzgerald was also the son of the Fort Worth Police Department’s former chief"

As for the "suspect", they gotta make an example of him, right?

You stay on campus? I started Temple in 02.
I started in Fall 2002 and I was on campus until about 2004 then I was off campus but only a few blocks away.

There are A LOT of dirtbag kids like this that come to Philly from the surrounding suburbs and do some of the most foul shyt y'all can think of.

A lot of the drugs on campus during my time? Came from kids just like this and people they were loosely connected to...

Facts fakkits like @Matt504 quick to shyt on black men but never offer a solution just snide fakkit remarks

*street nikkas

Better for you?

Now say some faggit shyt like “well they deserve to be shyt on” like those are not black men just because they don’t live like you

By your logic, we shouldn’t criticize “c00ns” either. They are still black men too.

:sas2:

Are the c00ns killing people, and robbing people, other than the conservative grift? Funny how Coli brehs can recognize circumstances may cause a black man to turn to crime to survive, yet don’t realize a black person may turn to the conservative grift to survive. Those so called c00ns are making more money than street dudes, and aren’t risking their lives every day. I don’t condone it. I wouldn’t sell my soul that way, but those brehs and brehettes figured out a way to make easy money without turning to violence.

I defend upwardly mobile black men who are, and want to contribute positively to society, and the black community. We all have free will. Nobody is forced to carjack, or kill someone unless it’s self defense. That black man can work at McDonalds, sweep floors, etc, but instead of putting in a hard day’s work, he’d rather get fast money, and risk people’s lives. Stop acting like these street dudes are on Indeed looking for jobs all day, and robbing people at night. Stop acting like a lot of them don’t think that life is exciting. We are constantly blaming others, instead of taking initiative in our own lives. Poverty does not make you more violent, as you can see from this case. Everyone has to make the most out of their life circumstances, and put effort into doing better.

I do not feel obligated to help, or defend black men who participate in behavior that harms themselves, or the community. We focus so much on our worst, and not our best. Everyone else is happy to let their worst go, and not be identified by them. But we have to get mad that someone is criticizing people who bring us down, and make us look bad.

Furthermore, why even bring up black men in this thread? Every time a white person does something wrong, it’s “if he was black”, or a black man does something wrong, it’s “if he was white”. I don’t see myself in immoral people, and neither should you. I literally have nothing in common with street dudes, other than race. Most of them would call me a lame, and start clowning me for the way I speak, and my values. And although I may have nerd qualities, I don’t look like a nerd.

(It throws people off, but I digress)

Oh, yeah. I stayed at J&H. It wasn't just people coming onto campus, it was people staying at campus. I remember going to someone's dorm to chill and this Doogie Howser MD looking mfer serving people coming in and out of the dorm. It was basically some Power Book 2 low rent shyt going on.

That's essentially what Upenn (and Drexel) have done.

West Philly is all but gone.

Upenn has bought up so much that it's downright unrecognizable.
I have a crib on 52nd street that I grew up in and inherited from my step pop. 52nd street is/was gutter, but it used to be hood all the way down to 48th and depending on where you're at in some cases 40th street. All of that shyt is owned by Upenn and Drexel now. Penn and Drexel are in between 30th street and 42nd Street. For them to own basically half of everything between 30th and 48th street; Chester to Girard ave is wild. Temple is trying to be on the same path.

Big facts and this is what I was speaking on before

Bro if people understood how many of these white kids were coming from the Philadelphia suburbs to sell weed, coke, pills all sorts of shyt ON CAMPUS...

Meanwhile the cops actually knew who a lot of the major players were (Temple PD is Philly PD just a special unit) but it's like it was a "as long as there's no open beef or bad press" everything was a shoulder shrug.

Consider the price of Temple tuition around that time we were in undergrad. I knew cats who were flipping Ps and paying off the entire semester in a week or two and then just gambling the rest of the shyt away on the weekends or dropping racks at Delilah's paying strippers tuition :russ:

Yeah, I couldn't stand that shyt. If you gotta sell to survive, that's one thing. But them dudes come to the city, live some GTA second life, and then after a few years go back to being a doctor, lawyer, or engineer and don't give a fukk that they're contributing to the city's fukkery because it's all a part of the plan anyway. shyt is disgusting.

I hope they throw this "No Ragrets" looking MF under the jail.
