Surveillance video captures Penn State student’s fatal shooting in Philly

Surveillance video captured the final moments before a Pennsylvania State University student was killed after an armed robbery attempt.

The Philadelphia Police Department said Billy Schmidt, 22, was close to home when the armed robbery attempt happened on Saturday around 1:30 a.m. When officers arrived, the college student was found with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:47 a.m., according to police.

Schmidt can be heard saying, “Give me my phone,” before a gunshot could be heard seconds later.

Bill Schmidt, his father, told ABC7 that his son was coming back from a bar where he was watching the NBA Finals with his friends. Additional security video shows a man throwing a cellphone before another individual can be seen running around a corner being chased by Billy Schmidt, who was then shot in the chest.
