OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 04/07/2026 at approximately 7:00 a.m., Philadelphia Police Department officers responded to the 5400 block of Webster Street after receiving reports that an armed man had threatened family members and was holding people inside a residence. Two officers arrived and encountered Anthony McKinley, 75, standing on the front porch of the home while armed with a handgun.
According to Philadelphia police, officers exited their patrol vehicle, took cover, and repeatedly ordered McKinley to drop the handgun. Investigators stated that McKinley refused the commands, pointed the handgun toward the officers, and fired one round in their direction. One officer returned fire, striking McKinley once.
The officers immediately approached McKinley, secured the handgun, and transported him in a police vehicle to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center because of the severity of his injuries. He was pronounced dead at the hospital at approximately 7:33 a.m. No officers were struck by gunfire during the incident.
The Philadelphia Police Department's Shooting Investigation Group and Internal Affairs Division began parallel investigations into the shooting. The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office also responded to the scene as part of its standard review of fatal police shootings. Investigators processed the residence, recovered the handgun, interviewed witnesses and the involved officers, and reviewed available body-worn camera footage and other evidence.
Neighbors identified McKinley as a longtime resident who had lived on Webster Street for decades. Subsequent reporting confirmed his identity as Anthony McKinley, 75.
