Good News in Philly

This is good news.

The suspect in the slaying of a police officer during a doughnut shop robbery was peacefully apprehended early Tuesday at a homeless shelter in Florida, police said.

The search for John Lewis, 21, had extended to Florida after investigators learned he had boarded a bus headed there during the weekend, police said. Workers at the Miami Rescue Mission and a separate caller to 911 alerted local authorities he was at the mission’s shelter, Miami Police Chief John Timoney said.

Lewis is suspected of shooting Officer Chuck Cassidy during an armed robbery last Wednesday at a Dunkin’ Donuts. Cassidy, 54, died Thursday morning.

Wyatt has information on the Memorial Fund for Officer Cassidy’s family.
