Off-Duty NYPD Detective Shoots Man in Bronx After Tracking Stolen Vehicle

The off-duty detective fired at a stolen vehicle, critically wounding a 30-year-old man in the Bronx; nearly half of NYC shootings this year have occurred in the borough, police said.

  • Just after 9 p.m. on March 16, police say an off-duty NYPD officer shot a man in the head outside 167 West 231st St., Kingsbridge; the wounded man was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital in critical condition.
  • The off-duty detective was tracking a vehicle reportedly stolen from his family and found a white car with three men on West 231st Street near Albany Crescent.
  • Surveillance footage shows the officer drawing and pinning a man behind the white car, while sources say he fired at least two shots, but video captured only one shot piercing the driver's-side window and hitting The Bronx Public bar window, narrowly missing a BX10 bus.
  • The NYPD's Force Investigation Division is investigating the shooting, and the officer has been suspended without pay; no arrests or charges have been announced.
  • Nearly half of the city's shootings this year have occurred in the Bronx, prompting plans to split Patrol Borough Bronx and the off-duty officer from the NYPD Intelligence Division with Gracie Mansion security draws added scrutiny.
