Widow waits for justice for Philly man shot by cop 17 months ago

District Attorney Larry Krasner is deciding whether to charge fired Philly cop Eric Ruch, who fatally shot an unarmed man in December 2017. It would be the second time in his two-year administration that he will have charged an on-duty cop with homicide.

Former Philadelphia Police Officer Eric Ruch Jr., who was fired in October 2018 for fatally shooting a man while on duty on Dec. 27, 2017, is the subject of a criminal investigation by the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.
