Officer Miosotis Familia, 48 and a 12-year veteran of the NYPD assigned to the 46th Precinct, was killed in the pre-dawn hours of July 5, 2017 while seated in a mobile command vehicle in the Bronx near the end of her overnight shift. A man identified as 34-year-old Alexander Bonds approached and fired a single shot through the passenger-side window, striking her in the head. Her partner called for help as Bonds fled.

Responding officers caught up about a block away; when Bonds drew a revolver the officers returned fire and fatally shot him. A bystander was also struck during the exchange and was reported in stable condition. Investigators said Bonds had posted anti-police material on social media, was on parole for a robbery conviction, had a prior assault on an officer, and used a stolen .38 caliber revolver. Familia was a mother of three and was posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade; the street outside the 46th Precinct was later renamed in her honor.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Familia or information about that morning that could add to the record?
