Detective James Jimmy Lloyd was a 50-year-old veteran of the Providence Police Department, serving 27 years, when he was killed inside police headquarters on April 17, 2005. He was interrogating a suspect about an earlier stabbing and robbery of an elderly woman when the man, not formally under arrest and with handcuffs removed, attacked. During the struggle the suspect seized Detective Lloyd’s service weapon and fatally shot him.

After firing the fatal shot the assailant shot out a third-floor window of the headquarters and jumped in an apparent bid to flee; officers caught him a few blocks away and charged him with murder. Detective Lloyd was later promoted posthumously to Detective Sergeant. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and his father, a retired police captain.

Are there details about the interrogation or the suspect’s movements before that morning that anyone can share?
