District Attorney Larry Krasner will announce developments Thursday in the investigation into the fatal shooting of an off-duty Philadelphia police officer.
Krasner and members of the DAO’s Homicide and Non-Fatal Shootings Unit will hold a news conference to share more details about the shooting that killed off-duty officer Alhassane Barry in Southwest Philadelphia on Aug. 16, 2026.
NBC10 will stream the news conference live at 11 a.m. Press play above to watch.
Thursday’s news conference comes just over a week after Philadelphia police said they had identified the shooting suspect. However, as of Aug. 27, police have not released the suspect’s name because charges have not been filed.
Barry, 29, was killed in a shooting that happened just before 4 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, at an after-hours lounge near the intersection of 73rd Street and Elmwood Avenue.
In that incident, officials said Barry was one of two men shot multiple times. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
A 35-year-old man was also shot multiple times and was treated at a nearby hospital.
Surveillance video obtained by NBC10 showed a marked Philadelphia police vehicle driving near the area around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Roughly 10 seconds later, someone is seen leaving the after-hours lounge before a fight breaks out.
Shots are then fired, and people are seen running from the area.
Police said they recovered a gun and were reviewing surveillance video as part of their investigation. It was unclear whose gun investigators recovered.
The funeral for Barry was held on Monday at the Islamic Center of Philadelphia, a little more than a quarter-mile from where the shooting happened. A prayer service was scheduled to follow.
