Overview

  • Det. Corey Fisher, a 12-year NYPD veteran, was shot in the hand and leg by crossfire during a response to a reported carjacking near the Whitestone Expressway and is in stable condition after surgery.
  • Police say three patrol officers opened fire as narcotics detectives moved to block a black Toyota Highlander driven by the suspect, and no firearm was recovered at the scene.
  • Suspect Kevin Dubuisson, 28, was taken into custody uninjured and now faces charges including robbery and assault following a series of alleged car theft attempts that began in Manhattan and ended in Queens.
  • Officials said Dubuisson has 10 prior arrests and four felony convictions, was released from prison in March on parole for robbery, and had received a desk appearance ticket for fare evasion the day before the incident.
  • The NYPD is reviewing body-worn camera footage and conducting an internal investigation, as Mayor Eric Adams and Commissioner Jessica Tisch publicly criticized state criminal justice reforms.
