The NYPD suspended two cops for
the way they responded to the crime
scene of a recent ax rampage in Williamsburg
Tuesday, according to the
authorities.
The department suspended the two
officers from the 83rd Precinct without
pay for not responding appropriately
to the killing of Savannah Rivera,
20, and the attempted murder of
her 21-year-old friend at a Flushing Avenue
apartment on the night of April
20, according to a spokeswoman for
the department.
“The Brooklyn North Investigations
Unit has reviewed the response and
actions of two officers from the 83rd
Precinct in this incident, and both are
in the process of being suspended for
failure to take appropriate action,” Detective
Sophia Mason said in a statement
emailed to this paper. “The two
officers are currently suspended without
pay.”
Jerry Brown allegedly hacked Rivera
to death with an ax and seriously
injured her friend at his eighth-floor
apartment near Humboldt Street, all
while the surviving woman’s 4-yearold
daughter — who was unharmed
in the attack — was left in a nearby
bedroom.
Emergency personnel were the first
on the scene and brought the surviving
Police charged Jerry Brown with
brutally murdering his girlfriend
Savannah Rivera, pictured.
woman —whom they found lying with
lacerations all over her body outside
the apartment building — to a Queens
hospital around 1:30 a.m., according
to the police.
When the two officers showed up,
paramedics reportedly relayed to the
them that the injured woman told the
emergency service personnel that Rivera
was likely dead in the apartment and
that her own daughter was still upstairs,
begging them to save the child, law enforcement
sources told WNBC .
The cops then reportedly requested
backup and mentioned an “assault from
the past” with a possible knife, but failed
to mention the child, the ax, or the dead
woman at the scene.
When their supervisor arrived they
didn’t share the information either and,
instead of going to the eighth-floor
apartment, stayed at the entrance for
almost an hour, leaving the child and
Rivera alone for that time, the sources
told the broadcaster.
The officers reportedly gave “partial
information” to other police before
leaving the scene without investigating
and clearing the scene or notifying
a supervisor, another source reportedly
told WNBC.
The department’s communications
unit did not have any more details about
the two officers’ behavior and couldn’t
confirm the reports to this paper by
press time, according to Mason.
Police arrested Brown the day of the
incident and charged him with murder,
attempted murder, and criminal possession
of a weapon.
He is currently undergoing a psychiatric
evaluation at a hospital, according
to the spokeswoman.
Representatives for the police union
— the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association
— did not respond to multiple requests
for comment by press time.
