Overview

  • Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch confirmed the birth and said Arham joins brothers Ahyan and Azhaan.
  • Mayor Eric Adams visited the hospital during labor and pledged continued city support for the family.
  • Didarul Islam, 36, was killed July 28 while working an approved off-duty uniformed security detail at 345 Park Avenue and was posthumously promoted to detective first grade.
  • Police say 27-year-old Shane Tamura opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle and later died by suicide, and investigators are reviewing his note requesting CTE testing along with his mental-health history.
  • Two verified fundraisers have raised nearly $500,000, including a GoFundMe near $80,000 and an NYPD-affiliated campaign over $416,000 that organizers say is approved by the family and now remitting funds.
