A man who was on trial in the murder of a New York City police officer has been found guilty on all counts.

The jury returned its verdict against Tyrone Howard late Monday afternoon. He was charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of NYPD Detective Randolph Holder in 2015.

Howard allegedly opened fire on Holder and his partner in East Harlem as they were investigating a report of shots fired.

Howard was a wanted criminal with more than a dozen prior arrests, and 12 prior incarcerations, when he shot Holder. Police sources called him a “major drug player”at the time, and said he knew cops were looking for him in regards to another shooting the prior month.

The night of Holder’s death, the young cop and other officers responded to a report of gunshots fired near East 102nd Street and 1st Avenue in Harlem. A victim at the scene told responding officers his bicycle had been stolen at gunpoint. Holder and other plainclothes officers encountered a man — allegedly Howard — on a bike on a pedestrian overpass over the FDR Drive at East 120th Street.

The man and police exchanged gunfire, and Holder was struck in the head. He was taken to Harlem Hospital and died there.
