PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police have identified the man who was shot and killed by an officer near the entrance road to Philadelphia International Airport.
It happened around 1:10 a.m. on Monday.
Police say they were responding to a man walking in the middle of the roadway.
The officer who made the call encountered 36-year-old Brian Timothy Kada on the South I-95 ramp (1 PIA Way). According to police, Kada told the officer he had been stabbed.
The officer then radioed for backup and an ambulance. On radio recordings obtained by 6abc, a dispatcher can be heard helping the officer call for medics and backup.
"Code yellow on the ramp coming into the airport on I-95, male has been stabbed and needs medical attention," said a female dispatcher.
Officials say that at some point while waiting for backup and medics, a physical altercation ensued between Kada and the officer. They said the officer tried tasing Kada several times but it did not seem to have an effect.
Another officer, 53-year-old Brian Laureano, arrived on the scene as the original officer used his Taser on Kada again.
That Taser discharge was also ineffective, police say, and that's when Laureano discharged his weapon multiple times.
Laureano can also be heard on dispatch recordings.
"I discharged three times, male shot in the stomach," he said.
Kada was struck three times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
No officers were injured in the incident.
Philadelphia police confirmed with 6abc that none of the officers assigned to the Airport Unit are equipped with body cameras.
Officer Laureano is a 28-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department and is assigned to the Airport Unit. He was placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs and officer-involved shooting investigation.
The first officer on the scene did not fire his weapon, police say.
An investigation is also underway with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.
