Yevgeniy Borisovitch ’Eugene’ Marshalik was 19 and serving as an auxiliary police officer in the NYPD’s 6th Precinct when he was killed on March 14, 2007. A United States Army veteran and NYU student studying politics and economics, Marshalik had been with the Auxiliary Police Section for about thirteen months and was on foot patrol in Greenwich Village with his partner, Auxiliary Officer Nicholas Pekearo, the night of the shooting.

After hearing a radio description of a murder suspect, the two officers located David Garvin near Bleecker and Sullivan Streets. The suspect initially complied with an order to drop a bag but then struck Marshalik and fled. The officers pursued; Garvin produced a firearm and shot Pekearo six times, killing him, then shot Marshalik once in the head, killing him instantly. Responding 6th Precinct officers later exchanged gunfire with Garvin, who was found to be carrying two handguns and more than 100 rounds; he was shot and killed at the scene. Investigators determined Garvin acted alone and had a history of mental illness.

If anyone remembers Marshalik from NYU, the 6th Precinct, or that night in Greenwich Village, please share what you know.
