Grand Jury Issues Indictment For Tyrone Howard, Suspect In NYPD Officer Slaying

As a stream of officers wiped tears from their faces, many said they wanted to live by his example and not bury themselves in the loss, Sgt. Joe Imperatrice said.

Here’s the latest on the fatal shooting of Officer Holder.

A wake for Officer Randolph Holder was held Tuesday at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica, Queens.

The 33-year-old later died at Harlem Hospital, making him the fourth NYPD officer to die in the line of duty in 10 months.

Chief of Manhattan detectives William Aubry said a weapon consistent with the gun officials were looking for was found around 3 a.m. Sunday by divers. Ballistics tests showed the.40-caliber Glock pistol was the weapon used to shoot Officer Randolph Holder in the head, the station reported Monday.

A spokesman for the Rev. Al Sharpton says that the long-time activist has been invited by Holder’s father to speak at the officer’s funeral on Wednesday.

The proposal comes after Tyrone Howard, 30, was charged with stealing a bike and fatally shooting Holder.

Last week, New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton joined more than 130 of the nation’s top officials to argue that offering drug and alcohol treatment, rather than jail time, would be more likely to help offenders improve and reintegrate into society. Maybe the family doesn’t understand his history with the NYPD. Here are the details for Holder’s viewing and funeral services: Public ViewingTuesday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. About 100 police officers volunteered to do the work, especially aimed at finding the fatal bullet.

Rev. Al Sharpton was scheduled to give the eulogy at the funeral but announced Tuesday he would not participate in the service due to what he is calling a “sideshow” among police unions. “We offer our thoughts and our prayers to his family”.

Sharpton said his intention was to bring unity to anti-police factions and law enforcement officers. However, the civil rights leader is now saying that he will not be making an appearance at the funeral at the request of various union leaders.
