Over the weekend, a manhunt was on go for Demetrius Blackwell, 35, after shooting a plain-clothed NYPD officer in the head. Brian Moore, 25, has been taken off of life support by his family, just two days following the incident. Moore’s father, who is a retired police office, is said to be “devastated” after making the decision, however, it needed to be done.

The news was announced Monday afternoon. According to the New York Post, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton was seen entering the hospital around 12:30 p.m. to be at Moore’s bedside, along with his parents again.

“I did not know this officer in person in life, I’ve only come to know him in death,” Bratton said to reporters outside the hospital this afternoon.
