The tragic incident took place when three officers responded to a late afternoon call from a mother dealing with an abusive son at 135th Street in upper Manhattan, police said. Arrived on the spot, the 47-year-old man “suddenly opened fire on them. In an instant, the life of a young man of 22 years has stopped and that of another has been altered forever,” lamented the head of the New York Police Department (NYPD), Keechant Sewell, from the Harlem Hospital.
