Off-duty Philadelphia police officer facing charges in connection with deadly shooting

An off-duty Philadelphia police officer has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting this weekend in Northampton County, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Kenroy Cummings, 25, faces charges of criminal homicide and attempting to elude an officer in connection with the killing of a 27-year-old man.

State police responded shortly before 2 p.m. Friday to a domestic incident at a home in the 1200 block of Old Gate Road in Allen Township, about 55 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Troopers found the man suffering from gunshot wounds, and he was taken to a local hospital where he died. His identity has not been made public.

The alleged shooter fled in an orange Kia, which authorities later spotted in Hanover Township. After a brief car pursuit, the suspect returned to the residence and was taken into custody, state police said.

Cummings did not immediately appear in court records, and it was unclear if he had an attorney.
