Vaird (August 4, 1952 – January 2, 1996)[2] was a Philadelphia Police officer who was shot dead by rapper Christopher Roney aka "Cool C" during a botched armed bank robbery in January 1996. Roney attempted to rob the bank with fellow rapper Warren McGlone aka "Steady B", and another man, Mark Canty. Vaird was Philadelphia's first female police officer to be killed in the line of duty[3] and was also the first officer to die in the year 1996.[4] BackgroundLauretha A. Vaird was a single mother of two boys.[5] Before she became a police officer, she worked as a teacher's aid at Pickett Middle School in Germantown. She first joined the Philadelphia police force in 1986 at the age of 34.[6] Before her death, she was a 9-year veteran with the 25th District.[5] MurderOn January 2, 1996, around 8:20 a.m., Philadelphia rappers Christopher Roney aka "Cool C" and Warren McGlone aka "Steady B", and their accomplice, Mark Canty, attempted to rob a PNC Bank branch in Feltonville, at 4710 Rising Sun Avenue, in Northeast Philadelphia.[7] The men had stolen a green minivan for the job which was driven by McGlone who acted as the getaway driver. Roney and Canty went into the branch before it was due to open. Canty carried a 9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun and Roney was armed with a .38 caliber revolver. The bank had no security guards, which influenced the men to rob that particular branch. The duo held three bank employees at gunpoint and demanded access to the bank vault. Within moments of entering the bank, the silent alarm was tripped. Officer Lauretha Vaird, who was in the area at the time and riding solo in a patrol car, responded to the bank's silent alarm.[8] Canty forced two of the bank employees to take him to the vault while Roney stood guard by the bank entrance covering the third employee. As Vaird entered the door to the bank with her weapon drawn, she was shot in the abdomen by Roney. Vaird was wearing a bulletproof vest, but it was without its bullet-resistant panels. After he shot Vaird, Roney exited the bank through the front door. Canty fled the bank through a side entrance and left his gun at the scene. Roney then exchanged fire with another police officer, Donald Patterson, who arrived shortly after Vaird. Roney was able to escape and dropped his gun on the sidewalk outside the entrance to the bank. He got into the minivan with McGlone and the two men then fled the scene. None of the three suspects stole anything from the bank.[9] Vaird was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, where she succumbed to her gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at 9:56 AM. having been killed by the single shot to the abdomen.[10] AftermathThe two pistols used by the assailants were found separately outside different entrances to the bank. Roney and Canty had dropped them while fleeing the scene. The stolen minivan Roney and McGlone had escaped in was found abandoned about a mile from the bank. The police also found various items of clothing used as disguises by Canty and Roney. This evidence led to their warrants and arrests. The guns were traced back to both Canty and McGlone.[9] The .380 caliber revolver used by Roney belonged to Anthony Brown, a relative of Canty. The gun had been stolen from Brown and was last seen in Canty's possession prior to the bank robbery. The 9 millimeter automatic handgun was traced back to Richelle Parker, a friend of McGlone, who had bought the gun for him.[8] McGlone was arrested outside his home two days later on January 4, 1996. He was charged with murder in the death of officer Vaird. After questioning McGlone, police issued a warrant for the arrests of Canty and Roney. Canty was arrested during a traffic stop in Maryland at a later date.[1] Roney surrendered to the police on January 6, 1996.[9] Vaird died at the age of 43 and is buried at Ivy Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vaird is survived by her two sons, Stephen and Michael. At the time of her death, Stephen was 11 and Michael was 17.[2] Trial and convictionOn October 30, 1996, McGlone and Canty were both sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.[7] McGlone is currently an inmate at the State Correctional Institution – Houtzdale and his inmate ID number is DD6864.[11] Canty is currently an inmate at the State Correctional Institution – Mahanoy and his inmate ID number is DD6842.[11] Roney was identified as the actual killer of Vaird, as he had been the one to fire the gun that killed her. On October 30, 1996, Roney was found guilty of first-degree murder, three counts of robbery, conspiracy, aggravated assault, burglary and possession of an instrument of crime.[8] On November 1, 1996, he received the death penalty for murdering Vaird.[12] He is currently on death row awaiting execution and is an inmate at the State Correctional Institution – Greene.[13] His inmate ID number is DF1973.[11] On January 10, 2006, Roney's death warrant was signed by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and his execution date was set for March 9, 2006 (Rendell was Philadelphia's Mayor at the time of the robbery/murder).[12] He was granted a stay of execution from Pennsylvania Judge Gary Glazer on February 1, 2006, until all post-conviction litigation was resolved.[14] His execution was set for January 8, 2015,[15] but Roney was once again granted a stay of execution from Pennsylvania Judge Luis Felipe Restrepo on December 5, 2014.[16] In popular cultureThe death of Vaird inspired the song "Slipped Away (The Ballad of Lauretha Vaird)," which appeared on Philadelphia trio G. Love & Special Sauce's album, Yeah, It's That Easy.
