A young NYPD officer was killed in broad daylight by a career criminal who had no business living free thanks to the city’s lawless crime policies.
As the New York Post reported, 31-year-old Jonathan Diller was fatally shot in the stomach after police tried to remove a suspect from the passenger’s side of a vehicle late Monday afternoon.
The senseless shooting happened around 5:50 p.m. in Queens after cops approached a dark gray Kia Soul that was illegally parked in front of a metered zone. Diller screamed he had been “hit” after the suspect opened fire.
Diller was then rushed in critical condition to Jamaica Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. He leaves behind his wife and one-year-old son.

A social media user captured footage showing the horrifying moment Diller was gunned down in cold blood. In the video, three gunshots can be heard as Diller collapses behind a parked dark gray Kia Soul.
Another office tries to help Diller as he screams and moans, “Oh God!” A third officer then jerks a man out the street-side door of the car and yells at him to “get on the f**ing floor!” before apprehending him.

NYPD union officials said a funeral for Diller has been set for Saturday morning at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Massapequa, L.I.
