Man charged with murder of man who tried to steal his car in Frankford: police

PHILADELPHIA – A 39-year-old man has been charged after police say he shot and killed a 48-year-old man who tried to steal his car in Philadelphia’s Frankford neighborhood last week.

Police say Sherwayne Garrison, 39, has been charged with murder, recklessly endangering another person and criminal possession of a criminal offense.

Police sources previously told FOX 29’s Steve Keeley that Garrison got out of his car last Friday afternoon around 3 p.m. and left it running and unlocked to use an ATM at Frankford and Pratt.

Garrison then saw an unknown, 48-year-old man get into it and try to steal it.

As the 48-year-old drove away in Garrison’s Honda, detectives said the 39-year-old fired his gun through the window of his car, shooting the carjacker in the head.

The car traveled along Frankford Ave and crossed Pratt Street before crashing into a taxi.

Sources say Garrison is a registered gun owner with a permit to carry.

The ordeal was captured on surveillance video.

This is an ongoing investigation.
