| Retired NYPD cop among 15 shot across NYC amid gun violence surge |
| 2021-04-26 |
| [NYPOST] A retired NYPD officer in the "wrong place at the wrong time" was one of 14 people shot Saturday amid a rash of gun violence in the Big Apple, police sources told The Post. The 30-year-old former cop was leaving a party in Red Hook, Brooklyn around 11:30 p.m. when she heard gunshots and realized she’d been hit three times in the torso, sources said. Cops believe the shots came from a group of men who began brawling after they were denied entry to the bash. "She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and took a slug in the stomach," a source said. The perps expeditiously departed at a goodly pace at 160 Van Brunt Street, where five shell casings were later recovered. The address is shared by a a Tesla dealership and an event space called The View Rooftop, which confirmed they had a private event there Saturday. The retired cop, who left the force in 2019 after seven years on the job, was taken to Methodist Hospital, where she remained in stable, pH balanced condition on Sunday. No arrests had been made as of Sunday evening. Shots rang out in 14 separate incidents across the city on Saturday and into early Sunday, according to police. One of the 15 victims that were maimed — an 18-year-old from the Bronx — died. Jamiek Bishop, a suspected gang member, was shot in the face, chest and right shoulder at around 11 p.m., while he was on his stoop at East 224th Street between Bronxwood and Paulding Avenues, police said. He was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! |

| #5 He had been arrested 16 times previously for charges including assault, menacing and robbery Ever notice how people in the news lately seem to have a lot of priors? I'm willing to stipulate that throwing people in jail for crimes they commit is racist and homophobic and whatever, but putting people in jug is not just about punishment. It also takes them out of circulation for a while and gives the rest of us a respite from their misbehavior. |

| #4 Jameik Bishop, 18, was shot in the face, chest and right shoulder outside of his home in the Wakefield neighborhood of the Bronx around 11pm on Saturday. He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center where he died of his injuries. Police believe Bishop has ties to a gang called the 20/30 Group which may have led to his death. He had been arrested 16 times previously for charges including assault, menacing and robbery, the outlet reported. |
