Special Recognition In Memory of New York City Police Officer “Detective Weijain Liu” and his family
Police Officer Weijan Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot and killed from ambush while sitting in their patrol car at the intersection of Myrtle and Thompskin Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Both officers were participating in an anti-terrorism drill, when a subject walked up to their patrol car and opened fire with a handgun, striking them both in the head and upper body multiple times. Other officers immediately pursued the subject into a nearby subway station where the man committed suicide.
The subject was a gang member from Baltimore, Maryland who had traveled to New York City specifically to ambush police officers. The man had published his intensions on social media to the shooting.
Officer Liu has served with the New York City Police Department for 7 ½ years and was assigned to the 84th Precinct. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of detective. He survived by his wife of two months, and his father.
