Former Philadelphia police officer, Edsaul Mendoza, has been sentenced to at least eight years in prison for the third-degree murder of 12-year-old Thomas "TJ" Siderio in 2022. Mendoza, a five-year veteran of the force, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in April. The boy, who was unarmed, was shot from behind and had thrown a gun down beforehand.
