Video: Cop Killer May Have Passed Through Fort Greene, Cops Say

The man who cops say “assassinated” two NYPD officers in their parked patrol car at Myrtle and Tompkins Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Saturday may have passed through Fort Greene in the hours before the brutal murders.

Police are asking for the public’s help in filling in those missing hours — roughly between noon and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 20 — on the timeline of what Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 27, was doing upon arriving in Brooklyn.

They have released a video of him inside the Atlantic Mall and a photo of his distinctive jacket.

Brinsley shot himself in the head inside the Myrtle-Tompkins Avenue Station following a brief chase from the scene where he reportedly shot Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in the head and body multiple times. Liu, 32, was a seven-year veteran, recently married, from Gravesend, while Ramos was a three-year veteran who lived in Cypress Hills and leaves behind a wife and two teenaged sons.

Anyone with information in regards to Brinkley’s whereabouts before the shooting of PO’s Ramos and Liu is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1800 577-TIPS.
