2nd NYPD officer dies, days after Harlem shooting

A New York City police officer gravely wounded last week in a Harlem shooting that killed his partner has also died of his injuries. Officer Wilbert Mora, 27, was taken off life support at a Manhattan hospital four days after a gunman shot him and Officer Jason Rivera, 22, as they responded to a domestic disturbance call. Rivera died Friday.

Mora had been in critical condition since the shooting. He was moved Sunday from Harlem Hospital to NYU Langone Medical Center, where he died. The two officers were fatally wounded Friday after they were called to a Harlem apartment by a woman who said she needed help with her adult son. Lashawn J. McNeil threw open a bedroom door and shot the officers as they walked down a narrow hall, authorities said. A third officer who was shadowing Mora and Rivera shot McNeil as he tried to flee. The gunman, 47, died Monday.
