as the focus of Monday's murder investigation turns to recidivist criminals.The gunman has been identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera. Charges against him are still pending. "Recidivism is a real issue," Adams said at a press conference on Tuesday.Diller, 31, and another officer were conducting a traffic stop on Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway on Monday evening on a car with two men inside that was parked at a bus stop illegally.
The bullet struck Diller in the stomach just beneath his bullet-proof vest. Diller's partner returned fire, wounding the passenger of the car, who was taken to the hospital. Diller was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where he later died. He leaves behind a wife and a 1-year-old son.The murder is the NYPD's first police killing since 2022, when two officers – Wilbert Mora, 27, and Jason Rivera, 22 – were ambushed in a Harlem apartment building after responding to a domestic disturbance call.
