NYPD says a person of interest that's in custody in connection to a shooting that left an off-duty federal law enforcement officer injured is wanted for crimes that were committed in The Bronx.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch says that 21-year-old Miguel Mora is wanted for a December 2024 robbery and a January 2025 stabbing, both of which occurred in The Bronx.
According to Mayor Eric Adams, Mora has an active bench warrant from The Bronx for those crimes.
According to the NYPD and Adams, an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in a Manhattan park following an apparent robbery gone wrong on Saturday.
Police say the officer, who was not in uniform, was in Fort Washington Park when two men on a moped approached him. They say one of the men got off the moped and shot him in the face and arm. The off-duty officer then returned fire.
The officer, a 42-year-old man, was said to be in stable condition as of Sunday night.
Tisch said Mora walked into Bronx Care Hospital early Sunday morning with gunshot wounds to the leg and the groin.
"Consistent with the injuries sustained by the perp, as captured on the CCTV video that our detectives have reviewed. He was then transported to Lincoln Hospital, where he underwent surgery," Tisch said.
