Nearly a year after NYPD detective Didarul Islam was killed in a Midtown mass shooting, a crowd of family, friends, elected officials, neighbors and fellow officers honored him with a street sign bearing his name on the Parkchester block he called home.
The street co-naming ceremony at East 172nd Street and Beach Avenue unveiled the sign for Detective First Grade Didarul Islam Way. Islam died July 28, 2025, while working security detail at an office tower at 345 Park Avenue. Four other people, including the shooter, also died in the incident that shook the city.
