On the evening of October 20, 2015, 33-year-old NYPD Officer Randolph A. Holder, a Guyana native and five-year department veteran, was shot and killed in East Harlem. Holder and his plainclothes partner were on anti-crime duty when they answered a report of shots fired. Witnesses said suspects had fled and one had taken a bicycle at gunpoint. The officers found a man on a bicycle on a pedestrian overpass above the FDR Drive; that man, identified as Tyrone Howard, dismounted and opened fire. A single bullet struck Holder in the head; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died. Holder’s partner returned fire and Howard was captured nearby with a gunshot wound to his leg.

Officer Holder was posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade and his shield number was retired, the same number his father had worn. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night that could add detail to the events on the overpass?
