Suspect In NYPD Officer Shooting Spent Over 5 Years In Jail
A man who served five years in prison for attempted murder was arraigned Sunday on charges that he shot a New York City police officer in the head.
Demetrius Blackwell was ordered held without bail after appearing in court in a torn jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind his back and legs shackled.
He was arrested Saturday night and charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Officer Brian Moore, who remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition after hours of surgery. Doctors have placed him in a medically induced coma.
At the arraignment, the 35-year-old suspect did not enter a plea. He is due back in court Friday.
Officials said Moore was shot on a Queens street after he and his patrol partner — both in plainclothes in an unmarked police car — pulled up to a man adjusting his waistband in a suspicious way, police Commissioner William Bratton said.
The officers ordered Blackwell to stop and exchanged words with him, but prosecutors say he turned suddenly and fired at least twice, striking Moore. His partner, Officer Erik Jansen, was not hit and radioed for help.
