PHILADELPHIA – Authorities issued an arrest warrant on Sunday for a suspect in the slaying of a city police officer who interrupted an armed robbery at a doughnut shop.

Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson identified the suspect as 21-year-old John Lewis, also known as Jordan Lewis, and urged anyone who might know his whereabouts to contact police. He also called on Lewis to turn himself in.

"He killed a police officer, he has at least two guns, he is armed and extremely dangerous," Johnson said.

Lewis can be identified by tattoos on his hands that read "N.P." and "H.P." for North Philadelphia and Hunting Park, two city neighborhoods he frequents, Johnson said.

Officer Chuck Cassidy, 54, died Thursday, a day after the married father of three was shot in the head as he walked in on a robbery at a Dunkin' Donuts in the city's West Oak Lane neighborhood."

Outcome:
"A Philadelphia judge has sentenced confessed cop killer John "Jordan" Lewis to death by lethal injection for the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Chuck Cassidy.

A jury of eight women and four men voted unanimously to sentence Lewis to death for shooting the 25-year veteran in the head as he walked in on Lewis robbing a West Oak Lane Dunkin’ Donuts on Oct. 31, 2007.

Officer Cassidy died the next day.

In addition to the death penalty, Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Minehart sentenced Lewis to an additional 76 to 152 years for robbery and firearms charges.

Earlier this month Lewis confessed to murdering Officer Cassidy and was convicted of first-degree murder last week."
