New videos shed light on the events that develop in front of a deadly shootout of the police.

In the surveillance video, which was preserved by FOX 29, a man gets out of a car in the parking lot, goes to the fence and seems to pull out a weapon.

According to the police, Cooper shot a 32-year-old man in the stomach, who is now in a stable state.

The police also say that a 29-year-old male witness had exchanged shots with the 51-year-old shots.

According to reports, the suspect then reported in the victim's Gray Toyota Camry and raced through several districts until it was discovered near the 2nd street and the Cheltenham Avenue, and started persecution.

“We are relaxing a firearm around East Cheltenham's 700 block, and we believe that he was shot out of the car at the car at that time,” said Commissioner Kevin Bethel.

The police say that the chase was continued until the 4600 block of the Roosevelt Boulevard.

The suspect drove to a median with a grass center and hit a tree near the Langdon Street. The police say that the suspect had come out of the car, lifted his gun in their direction, and then seven officials shot the suspect several times.

Cooper later died in the hospital and no officials were injured.

All officials are on administrative leave tonight.

“I think it's terrible what's going on today with the crime. You just have to be careful. You know and it's just a tragedy,” said Cheryl, who lives nearby.

It was a wild chase in the northeast of Philadelphia last night and ended with the police shooting and killing Carjaking Jerome Cooper.

“I live in the area a block from where all of this happened. Many of us, especially seniors like us, we stay in,” added Cheryl.

“Again and again, if there is a risk, men and women rise in this department and pursue those who harm our community,” said Commissioner Bethel.

“He shot and shot to kill so that they did their job for me,” said Cheryl.
