Accused killer of NYPD officer ordered held without bail

NEW YORK — Shortly after fatally shooting off-duty NYPD Officer Adeed Fayaz, Randy “Popper” Jones tried to cover up evidence of the crime with a piece of tape, prosecutors said Tuesday.

“His car, when it was recovered, had a bullet hole in it but it was covered up by tape,” Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Leila Rosini said during the suspect’s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Wednesday.

Jones, 38, was ordered held without bail for allegedly gunning down Police Officer Adeed Fayaz during a botched Facebook Marketplace robbery in Brooklyn Saturday night.
