Adeed Fayaz, the 26-year-old NYPD officer who was shot and killed during a botched robbery on Saturday, was carried in a flag-draped coffin during a funeral procession on Thursday.
A five-year veteran of the force, Fayaz leaves behind his wife and two sons, ages 3 and 4.
NYPD officers carried his coffin from Al-Rayaan Muslim Funeral Services on Thursday as hundreds of fellow brothers and sisters in blue looked on.
Fayaz was off-duty on Saturday evening when he went with his brother-in-law to buy a car that 38-year-old Randy Jones had posted on Facebook Marketplace for $24,000, according to officials.
Jones allegedly put Fayaz in a headlock and demanded the money as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at his brother-in-law. Fayaz broke free from the headlock and Jones allegedly shot him in the head, officials said.
Jones, who has an extensive criminal history, was arrested on Monday at a motel and charged with murder and attempted robbery.
