Officer Sumit Sulan, who had been with the NYPD for two months, joined officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera in response to a 911 call in a Harlem building on Jan. 21, 2022, where Lashawn McNeil was arguing with his mother.

A man riding an e-bike through Queens was killed after he was doored by a Mercedes Benz, then run over by a Jeep, cops said Saturday.

“She was always willing to try new things,” recalled daughter-in-law Judy Tydor Schwartz of the late New York native. “She was indestructible. We were sure she was going to live forever.”

A man riding a gasoline-powered bike through a Queens intersection was struck and killed by an MTA bus early Saturday, authorities said.

Grieving friends streamed into Kajtazaj’s family’s home a mile from the crash scene in the hours after he died. The family is originally from Kosovo.

Detectives were reviewing camera footage and conducting interviews at a nearby liquor store the woman was known to frequent as they searched for clues to the tragedy.

Relatives gathered at Tarry’s East Flatbush apartment on Saturday remembered him as a precocious young man with a sharp sense of humor who had learned Spanish, Russian, and Yiddish all while holding down a job and raising a daughter.

A 35-year-old man was stabbed to death in Queens by a friend who mistakenly thought he was attacking her, police said Friday.

“This can’t be happening,” Trevor Thomas recalled thinking as a teen leveled a pellet gun at him point-blank and opened fire as the shooter’s pal recorded the attack with a cell phone.

As the blaze swept through the 19th and 20th floors of 303 E. 135th St. in the Mitchel Houses and choked little Aiden Hayward to death with black smoke, a pair of bandits made off with Alberto Revilla’s wedding ring, Nintendo Switch, iPad and other electronics, an estimated $14,800 of personal items, police said.

“I looked through my peephole and just saw black,” Anthony Vega, who was in his apartment when the fire erupted, said Saturday. “I was praying for no one to be in that situation. To hear him, with his dad on the floor, that was real sad.”

Nahoom refused to say where he was going, who his passengers were, or why they couldn’t meet him in a place with a lower population density. “That’s really none of your business,” he said.

The gunman hollered that the victim embarrassed him in front of his girlfriend before opening fire, Modou said. The worker was shot in the left leg.

A Bronx woman was hit in the leg by a stray bullet as she pushed her daughter in a stroller, police said Friday.

In the gory aftermath, blood-stained loose change and bloody footprints were left on the sidewalk outside NY Pizza Suprema.

A boy who stepped in to defend the girl was also assaulted, police said. Video showed at least a dozen young people running and filming the chaos, which spilled into the dog run.

“I don’t think the kids should have to see this walking to school in the morning,” said neighbor Alissa Aviles. “It’s traumatic for the kids to see. My nephew and sister walked past, he was shaken up. They heard others talking, saying someone was shot 13 times.”

A Brooklyn woman, accompanying her husband on his evening walk home from work, watched in horror as a hit-and-run driver ran him down.

“I just got to a point where I said, ‘It’s better I go into the tree before someone tries to kill me, sends me to Rikers (Island), to get the same beatings from these officers again,” Thomas said inside the Springfield Gardens residence he shares with his mother and nephew.

“I heard (Persido) had went to the Dominican Republic for a while,” she said. “That’s literally under us. It was always very noisy down there, kids were always crying and screaming. I went there all the time to bring them furniture, do little things, say hi, or see if they needed help.”

Devastated relatives of Solomon “Sol” Samuel, 48, gathered Sunday at a modest memorial of candles outside Pitkin Appliances on Pitkin Ave. in Brownsville, the family’s 40-year-old neighborhood appliance store. Samuel worked there since he was 17 and lived above the store.
