Additional Charges Filed In Officer's Death

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ―

Police say a second friend has been charged with aiding the fugitive in last week's shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer.

Homicide Sgt. Robert Wilkins says 33-year-old Issac Albright helped Eric DeShawn Floyd elude a police dragnet after the murder of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski.

Wilkins says Albright took Floyd and Floyd's girlfriend to a boarded-up house, where the couple stayed until police raided the hideout on Wednesday. Albright is charged with obstruction of justice, hindering apprehension and conspiracy.

Wilkins says officials found Albright in Graterford Prison. He was being held on a parole violation in relation to a conviction for auto theft. It was not known when Albright had entered Graterford.
