NEW YORK (AP) — The man who shot two New York City police officers in a Harlem apartment, killing one of them and putting another in critical condition, died Monday of injuries sustained when a third officer shot him.
Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Lashawn J. McNeil’s death. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that McNeil died Monday afternoon at Harlem Hospital.
The official was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. Authorities said McNeil had swung open a bedroom door and opened fire at the officers Friday as they responded to a domestic call.
Officer Sumit Sulan, a rookie who was shadowing the two wounded officers, shot McNeil as he tried to flee.
