CBSN
Lashawn McNeil, the man accused of shooting two New York City Police Department officers, killing one and leaving the other in critical condition, has died from his police-inflicted wounds, NYPD confirmed to CBS News on Monday. McNeil, 47, had been hospitalized since his Friday encounter with police, during which he was shot in head and arm as he tried to flee.
Police on Friday responded to a call from McNeil's mother, who told officers she was in a dispute with her son. When officers arrived at the Harlem residence, McNeil's mother told them McNeil was in a bedroom at the end of a hallway. As officers made their way towards the room, McNeil opened the door and opened fire, police said. Officer Jason Rivera, 22, was shot and killed and officer Wilbert Mora, 27, was wounded. As of Monday, Mora remained hospitalized in grave condition, CBS New York reports.
A Glock 45, which police say was stolen in Baltimore in 2017, with a high-capacity magazine was recovered at the scene.
