Overview

  • Separate women-only and men-only viewings were held Thursday morning at Parkchester Jame Masjid ahead of a prayer service and burial in Totowa, New Jersey.
  • A dignified transfer on Tuesday halted traffic on the FDR Drive as NYPD and FDNY members lined streets to salute Islam’s procession from the medical examiner’s office.
  • Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams and Commissioner Jessica Tisch attended a 47th Precinct roll call on Wednesday to address officers mourning Islam’s sacrifice.
  • Online and local fundraisers have raised more than $250,000 to support Islam’s wife and two young sons ahead of the birth of their third child.
  • An immigrant from Bangladesh, Islam served three-and-a-half years in the Bronx’s 47th Precinct and was the first NYPD officer of Bangladeshi descent killed in the line of duty.
