The death of NYPD Officer Adeed Fayaz from Deer Park has been announced following an off-duty shooting incident, according to officials.

NYPD Officer Adeed Fayaz of Deer Park, who was 26, passed away Tuesday afternoon, according to authorities after suffering a gunshot wound to the head during an attempted robbery in Brooklyn on the weekend.

Fayaz, a husband and the father of two, succumbed to his wounds at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, where he had been in serious condition since being admitted following the incident of shooting.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell stated in a tweet that Officer Adeed Fayaz was a father, a husband, a son, and a defender of our great city. Sadly, Officer Fayaz was struck by a bullet on Saturday night and was unsuccessful in battling his wounds, passing away today. Our police department laments his departure profoundly, and our prayers are with his family and dear ones.

Hundreds of law enforcement personnel congregated at the hospital's entrance for a grand tribute on Tuesday night. Fire and police vehicles blanketed the site with their emergency lights blinking, with choppers flying overhead, and observers from the surrounding area.

At the hospital on Tuesday evening, Sewell and other higher-ranking officers along with members of the PBANY, the union for police officers, were present for the event.

A short time before, NYPD had named Randy Jones, a 38-year-old from New York City, as the person purportedly responsible for the gunfire that injured Fayaz. Officials stated that the incident in south Brooklyn happened at just before 7:00 PM on Saturday and appeared to be a botched robbery.

As of Tuesday evening, arrangements for the funeral of Fayaz, a Muslim immigrant from Pakistan who had been an employee of the NYPD for five years, had yet to be finalized.

Early Tuesday, at a news conference, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig reported that Jones had been taken into custody at Nanuet's Days Inn in Rockland County where he was residing with five children and a female companion, believed to be his girlfriend.

According to authorities, Jones has previously been accused of violence and was apprehended at an accommodation in the form of a motel situated in the northern region of the state on Monday night. It is alleged that he attempted to murder Fayaz, therefore potential attempted murder accusations may be brought forward.

Jones' apprehension was disclosed at a media meeting on Tuesday at the Manhattan police headquarters. Reports say that about 46 hours after firing at Fayaz, Jones was apprehended, despite having a 2014 arrest for strangulation in a domestic situation.

It is alleged that Jones discharged his weapon and critically injured both Fayaz and his brother-in-law after they ventured to Ruby Street in south Brooklyn in the belief that they were going to finalize the acquisition of a Honda Pilot that had been advertised online, according to Essig.

Jones jokingly inquired of Fayaz and his brother-in-law, who was not identified by police, as to whether they were in possession of a firearm.

Upon both men indicating that they were not, Jones suddenly placed Fayaz in a headlock and brandished a gun at the law enforcement officer's head demanding money.

After Fayaz stated he did not have said funds in his possession, the situation quickly spiraled out of control; Jones then directed the firearm towards the brother-in-law. Following Fayaz's release from the headlock, the suspect discharged his gun, resulting in the officer being shot in the head, as described by Essig to the media.

A vital revelation in the situation was a dashcam recording taken from the brother-in-law's cab, which had been registered with the TLC. This footage registered the number plate of Jones' car, when Fayaz and his relative arrived on Ruby Street.

The regional fugitive task force, who had assistance from detectives, used a dashcam video to follow the trail of Jones' BMW car to an upper Manhattan area. It was discovered then that the car belonged to the mother of Jones, who resides in Brooklyn.

At 10:55 p.m. on Saturday, surveillance footage captured Jones departing a flat on Park Avenue in Manhattan with a female companion and five youngsters - approximately four hours after Fayaz had been shot.

Jones, the woman, and the kids, varying between the ages of six months and eleven years, got into an Acura and headed out.

Analysis of the computer and video data pinpointed the Acura to the Days Inn in Nanuet, where Jones was arrested Monday. His girlfriend who, was present, was not indicted. Jones requested an attorney and declined to comment, according to the police.

Jones was still under investigation with police continuing their inquiries that included the authorization and execution of two search warrants. Should their findings be sufficient, police intended to charge him with attempted second degree murder.

The Police Benevolent Association expressed its profound gratitude to its detective brethren for their tireless efforts in assembling the details of this case and locating the criminal to his hiding spot,” President Patrick Lynch unsurfaced in a response to Jones' detention.
