Other cop gunned down from Harlem domestic disturbance call dies
Mora, 27, died at NYU Langone Medical Center, where he was transferred Sunday from Harlem Hospital. Fellow Officer Jason Rivera, 22, was shot along side Mora while responding to a 911 call of a domestic dispute between a Harlem woman and her ex-con son, with sources telling the Daily News the fight started in part over the shooter’s strict vegan diet.
“True heroes never die,” said Patrick Lynch, president of the Police Benevolent Association union. “Our brother Police Officer Wilbert Mora has left us, but he will live on in the heart of every New York City police officer from this day forward.”
The recently-married Rivera, only 22 years old with just 14 months on the job, died Friday evening.
Mora remained on life support since Friday evening after he and Rivera were shot inside the apartment of a woman who called 911 over a fight with her son. Gunman LaShawn McNeil, 47, was fatally wounded by NYPD rookie Sumit Sulan in the wild shootout and died Monday afternoon.
