NEW YORK (77WABC) – The second NYPD officer shot in Harlem last on Friday has died, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced on Tuesday.
Officer Wilbert Mora, 27, had been clinging to life since being gunned down along with police partner Jason Rivera during an ambush while on a domestic-violence call.
Mora, who joined the department in 2018, was taken off life support at NYU Langone hospital in Manhattan. Mora, who was single, underwent two surgeries after he was shot in the head and a bullet lodged in his brain but couldn’t be saved, authorities said.
Sources told WABC Radio that Mora had been placed on life support so his organs could be harvested to help others.
Both cops were ambushed by career criminal Lashawn McNeil, who also died.
