Accused NYPD cop-killer dies after being shot by officer during Harlem ambush - New York Post

The “distorted” career criminal accused of shooting two Manhattan cops, killing one and leaving the other clinging to life, died of his wounds Monday, officials said.

Lashawn McNeil, 47, had been in critical condition since being shot by a third officer after fatally gunning down Finest Jason Rivera, 22, and critically wounding NYPD cop Wilbert Mora, 27, during a domestic disturbance inside his brother’s Harlem apartment Friday.

“I hope he burns in hell,” a veteran cop said of McNeil.

McNeil, who was hit in the head and arm by rookie Officer Sumit Sulan, had been declared brain dead after the incident, a source said.

She said she regretted ever dialing 911 on Friday when she got into a beef with him and said she blamed herself for the tragedy that followed. .

The convicted felon was on probation for a 2003 drug conviction when he shot the cops, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said at a press conference Saturday
