We mourn the loss of Police Officer Wilbert Mora. At 27-years-old, he was murdered in the line of duty, fighting until his last minute with us. We vow to never forget Wilbert and will always honor his legacy of service and ultimate sacrifice. #FidelisAdMortem NYPD 32nd Precinct

Officer Wilbert Mora was the first in his family to join a profession that asks courageous men & women to leave their loved ones to protect someone else's — just as Wilbert and Jason did when they sacrificed their lives. It’s my honor to promote Wilbert to Detective First Grade.

This morning, I had the honor of promoting Officer Sumit Sulan to the rank of detective as I spoke to the NYCPoliceFoundation. Like Detectives Mora & Rivera, Sumit’s actions were heroic that fateful night. He was presented shield #332 — symbolizing three brothers from the NYPD 32nd Precinct.

This is Frank James who is a person of interest in this investigation. Any information can be directed to NYPD Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of FDNY Firefighter Timothy Klein.
