On Monday an NYPD officer died after being shot in the face while sitting in an unmarked squad car in Queens, NY.
The officers name was Brian Moore and he was only 25 years old. He was in a medically induced coma after undergoing surgery shortly after the incident. On Monday he was removed from life support.NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told reporters:
It’s with great regret and sadness that I announce the passing of New York City police Officer Brian Moore . . . killed in the line of duty. In his very brief career, less than five years, he had already proved himself to be an exceptional young officer. In that career, he had made over 150 arrests protecting and serving the citizens of this city. He had already received two exceptional police service medals, two meritorious police service medals. We don’t give them out easily. He worked for them. He earned them.

Demetrius Blackwell was apprehended and is being charged with the killing.

Investigators say Moore and Jansen were in an unmarked car and tried to stop Blackwell after they thought he put on gun in his pants.
Blackwell then opened fire before the officers could get out of the car.
He is now being charged with murder in the first-degree. If convicted he could get life in prison without the possibility of parole.
It is said Blackwell knew very well who he was shooting: a police officer.
