Homicide suspect shot by police in Strawberry Mansion

  by JOHN RAWLINS

STRAWBERRY MANSION - September 28, 2012 (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police shot a homicide suspect in Strawberry Mansion after the man allegedly tried to grab an officer's gun.

It happened around 3:00 Friday afternoon at 32nd and Oxford streets.

Two 22nd district officers spotted a gray Chevrolet and conducted a routine traffic stop. That's when it was discovered that the driver - 27-year-old Maceo Emerson Waring - was wanted for a recent homicide.

As officers went to arrest him, Waring allegedly tried to grab the officers gun.

"They tried to get the male out of the vehicle, when a violent struggle occurs. Mr. Waring reaches for the officer's weapon and he starts to get the weapon out of the holster. The officer's partner shoots two times, the struggle continues and the other officer fires one shot," said Lt. Ray Evers.

The suspect was struck at least three times and was taken Temple University Medical Center in critical but stable condition.

Meanwhile, police say Waring is a suspect in the Sept. 10 killing of Nieem Giles on the 4600 block of Horrocks Street.

An investigation in still underway.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
