Philadelphia Officer in the Thomas Siderio Shooting
A different Alexander Camacho was a Philadelphia Police Department officer in the Criminal Intelligence Unit and a witness in the March 1, 2022, fatal shooting of 12-year-old Thomas “T.J.” Siderio. He did not fire the shot that killed Siderio.
Camacho was one of four plainclothes officers in an unmarked car near 18th and Barbara Streets when they stopped Siderio and another juvenile. According to the grand jury presentment, Siderio fired at the car, shattering a rear window and sending glass into Camacho’s face. Siderio ran and dropped the gun. Officer Edsaul Mendoza chased him and shot him in the back while he was on the ground and unarmed. Within a minute, Camacho asked Mendoza where the discarded firearm was, and Mendoza pointed toward a white van; Camacho recovered the Taurus G2C 9mm roughly 40 feet from where Mendoza fired.5Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Grand Jury Presentment – Mendoza
Camacho testified before the Thirty-First County Investigating Grand Jury on March 18, 2022. He said the stop was prompted in part by the juveniles riding bicycles the wrong way, in addition to a firearms investigation. The grand jury noted that this traffic justification had not appeared in his March 1 or March 3 interviews with Officer-Involved Shooting investigators or in police paperwork, and that Camacho acknowledged he generally did not issue traffic tickets.5Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
