As the year nears its end, New York City Police Department (NYPD) brass on Thursday announced they made arrests in what they identified as two major Manhattan cases, one where an off-duty police officer was shot in his car in January and another involving a string of robberies that led to five possible fatal drug overdoses.
NYPD honchos, including Commissioner Keechant Sewell and Chief of Detectives James Essig, also highlighted two arrests in murder cases they made over the past week, the first in a fatal stabbing inside a Midtown homeless shelter and the second for a shooting at an Inwood deli, during a news conference at NYPD headquarters Thursday morning.
