The horrifying incident took place at the Harlem district in New York, right after a very emotional call from a mother for help reached the NYPD relating to domestic abuse regarding her son.
The victims were recently identified as Jason Rivera who was just 22 years old and his partner Wilbert Mora who joined the NYPD in the year 2018.
Jason died after succumbing to his brutal gunshot injuries. Meanwhile, his partner William is currently under hospital care as he battler for his life.
Both officers were dashed to the hospital in their own patrol cars as revealed by local media outlets.
The accused responsible for carrying out the tragic act was 47-year old Lashawn Mc Neil who was currently out of probation time after being arrested for a number of different felony charges in the past, where most of them were related to narcotics.
He also had arrests in a number of other states too.
Lashawn was reportedly injured after a third officer fired back at him when he shot the other two policemen.
Other reports revealed how the police also managed to retrieve the illegal Glock that was reportedly used to carry out the tragic shooting.
Family members of the slain police officer are expressing their sorrow, shock, and heartbreak over the unfortunate incident that took away the life of a bright, young, and shining individual who enjoyed serving in the police force. But little did he know that his journey would be so short.
