The shooting inside the parking garage at the airport happened around 11 p.m. last Thursday.
According to police, Officers Mendez and Raul Ortiz were shot after they confronted a group of car thieves in a parking garage at the airport.
Mendez was shot multiple times in his upper torso and later died at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, police said.
Ortiz was shot in the arm and was released from the hospital Saturday morning.
"A happy day to see him get out of the hospital, knowing that he's on the road to recovery as far as his arm, but it's really his mind and his heart that's going to need some time to heal," Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said.
