Police have apprehended a homicide suspect after a police foot chase and shooting that happened in Kensington Tuesday afternoon, according to Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore. Spencer Majett, 29, was wanted in connection to a shooting on October 8, that left an innocent bystander dead outside a beer store in Kensington, Vanore said. The victim was identified as Felicity Vanatta, 23, from Penns Grove, New Jersey. Vanore said in the days following the shooting, police got a warrant for the suspect, identified as a 29-year-old Spencer Majett. On Tuesday, Oct. 29, around 5:30 p.m., officers on patrol around Reach Street and Allegheny Avenue, just six blocks from the homicide, spotted the man they believed to be the suspect in that shooting and called for backup, Vanore said. A foot pursuit ensued, where Majett ran up Reach Street and ran through an alleyway where a confrontation happened between him and the officers, Vanore said. Majett was armed with a gun and both the officers and him fired at each other. The suspect was hit once or twice in the shoulder area, according to officials. He is currently in critical but stable condition at the hospital, Vanore said. No officers were injured in the shooting. This is an ongoing investigation.
