Overview
- A 29-year-old off-duty officer, Alhassane Barry, was shot outside an after-hours lounge and later died while a 35-year-old man remains hospitalized in critical condition.
- Surveillance frames and still photos released by police show a person of interest and match a physical description officers say will help locate the suspect.
- District Attorney Larry Krasner said investigators have recovered a firearm tied to the case and are reviewing multiple camera angles and witness accounts.
- Prosecutors identified a man they are interviewing but have not filed charges and warned the probe could take weeks to months because forensic testing and other interviews are ongoing.
- City records show the lounge had repeated violations and nuisance inspections since 2021, and the DA has filed a motion to shut the unlicensed after-hours club with a court hearing expected next month.
