NEW YORK — The second police officer shot by a gunman in a Harlem apartment died Tuesday, New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell said.
“It’s with great sadness I announce the passing of Police Officer Wilbert Mora,” Sewell said in a statement. “Wilbert is three times a hero. For choosing a life of service. For sacrificing his life to protect others. For giving life even in death through organ donation. Our heads are bowed & our hearts are heavy.”
Mora, 27, died at NYU Langone Medical Center, where he’d been transferred Sunday from Harlem Hospital.
