University and Philadelphia Police arrested two men they believe are responsible for last month's shooting death of a HUP employee on the 4500 block of Baltimore Street, Lieutenant Susan Holmes said last night. The two suspects were arrested as they attempted to steal a car at 2:22 a.m. Sunday on the 4100 block of Irving Street, police said. Holmes said that University Police responded to a call for back-up by Philadelphia Police and helped in apprehending the two suspects. A Philadelphia Homicide official said yesterday, however, that there was no record of the arrest on the division's blotter. Mumford was shot when two men robbed him of his car and his wallet. Mumford, unaware he had been shot, took police to his home on the 800 block of south 47th Street to get registration papers for his car. He collapsed on his porch and was rushed to the HUP emergency room. Mumford died nearly a half-hour later from a gunshot wound to the chest.
