A “community debrief and discussion” will be held on Sunday, March 10, from 3 – 5 p.m. at the Ethiopian Community Center (4400 Chestnut St.) to discuss the police shooting of Kaleb Belay, a 25-year-old Temple University graduate student, on March 6th on the 4900 block of Hazel Avenue.

Residents may also be interested in attending the monthly 18th Police District’s “Captain’s townhall meeting,” which will be held March 19th at the 18th District headquarters at 5510 Pine St. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. 

Belay was shot several times by police on the sidewalk of the 4900 block of Hazel, a few houses from where he lived. He is in critical but stable condition at Penn Presbyterian Hospital.

Police said they were responding to a 911 call that there was a stabbing at the house where Belay lived and said that Belay charged them with a knife. No stabbing victim was found. The 27-year-old officer who shot Belay has been on the force for four years, according to reports. He has been taken off active duty pending an investigation.
