Queens man arraigned on gun charges in connection with NYPD officer's killing
About 100 police officers filled the gallery of a Queens courtroom on Tuesday as a man prosecutors say was behind the wheel when his companion shot and killed an NYPD officer last month appeared in court on gun charges.
Diller and his partner approached a parked car in Far Rockaway on March 25 around 6 p.m, according to police. Law enforcement officials said the man in the passenger seat, Guy Rivera, thenbelow his protective vest, and Diller’s partner returned fire and shot Rivera in the back. Diller was pronounced dead that night, and Rivera was brought to the hospital in stable condition, police said.
Prosecutors said in court on Tuesday that Jones claimed after the shooting that police had “no reason to search” the car. “Shame on some of these judges who continue to allow violent criminals back on the streets,” Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union, said outside court on Tuesday.
