Police in Philadelphia are searching for the gunman who shot and killed one of their own early Saturday morning.

Authorities say Officer Moses Walker Jr. had just finished his shift at the 22nd district at 17th Street and Montgomery Avenue, when he said shot to death on a North Philly street a few blocks from her police station.

The 19 year veteran, who was in street clothes, was found face down lying on his gun by fellow officers around 6:30 a.m. Saturday.  He was rushed to Hahnemann Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  It is believed he was walking to a bus stop when he was murdered on Cecil B. Moore Street.

Forty-year old Walker, who was not married and had no children, was also a deacon at Deliverance Evangelist Church at 20th and West Lehigh Avenue.
