Quron Williams was 19 when he died on April 9, 2016, after an encounter on the 5700 block of Park Avenue in the Fern Rock section of North Philadelphia. Police say the incident began about 2:20 p.m. when Williams allegedly robbed an elderly man at gunpoint. An off-duty Philadelphia SWAT officer, Erik Bullock, who had 19 years on the force, was nearby and intervened.

Authorities reported that Bullock identified himself and ordered Williams to drop the gun. Police say Williams pointed his weapon at Bullock; Bullock then fired, and Williams ran. During the subsequent pursuit Williams reportedly fired at the officer, and Bullock fired again. Williams collapsed and was taken to Einstein Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead; the elderly robbery victim received hospital treatment for injuries that were not described as life-threatening.

Homicide detectives and internal affairs reviewed the shooting. Reporting around the time identified Erik Bullock as the shooter but did not show any criminal charge against him in connection with Williams’ death. Did anyone in Fern Rock witness this April afternoon or have additional information about the sequence of events?
