NYPD Officer Dies Two Days After Being Shot in Head
Brian Moore, the NYPD officer who was shot in the face Saturday evening in Queens, has died, according to the New York Post and CBS News.
Moore, 25, was removed from life support just after 11 a.m. Monday. He had been in a medically induced coma since undergoing surgery to repair “severe injuries to his skull and brain.”
Moore was shot Saturday at about 6:15 pm after he and his partner Erik Jansen approached a man—later identified as Demetrius Blackwell, 35,—who was “walking and adjusting an object in his waistband.”
The officers ordered Blackwell to stop and exchanged words with him. That’s when Blackwell turned, the prosecutor said, and “in a vicious manner started to fire” - at least two shots.
Jansen was not hit and radioed for help.
Blackwell was arrested and is being held without bail.
