Nefertiti Jaquez out at NBC10
NBC 10 Philadelphia has confirmed for me reporter Nefertiti Jaquez is no longer with the station.
NBC 10 Philadelphia has confirmed for me reporter Nefertiti Jaquez is no longer with the station.
When I reached out NBC said they do not comment on personnel matters.
A spokesman would not comment on the reason for it, but several sources say Jaquez was let go for reporting live, on-air the name of slain Police Officer Robert Wilson III over this past weekend.
Her bio has also been removed from the NBC10 website.
A Tweet sent on Thursday evening at 5:37 p.m. by Yvette A. Nunez (@yvetteanunez), read:
"@nefertitijaquez: We have learned the Philadelphia Police officer who was shot earlier at 22/Lehigh has died. Que triste!" It has since been deleted.
Attempts to reach Jaquez yesterday and today so far have been unsuccessful.
