On June 15, 1984, 39-year-old New York City Police Officer Juan Andino was killed while on patrol in the Bronx. Assigned to the 40th Precinct and with 11 years on the force, he had gone to a shop near 3rd Avenue and 149th Street after the owner reported a theft. The shopkeeper identified a suspect wearing the stolen eyeglass frames, and Officer Andino escorted the man back into the store to investigate.

Inside the shop the encounter turned violent. Witnesses say 24-year-old Lee Ernest Walker attacked Andino, seized his service weapon and fired three shots, wounding Andino twice in the head. A nearby female officer returned fire, hitting Walker twice. Andino was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where he died. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on June 11, 1985 and is survived by his daughter. Walker was arrested at the scene, later convicted of first-degree murder and received 25 years to life.

If anyone remembers Officer Andino, the scene that day, or has information about the attack, please share what is known.
