Jonathan Diller, the NYPD officer shot and killed during a traffic stop in Queens, leaves behind a wife and a one-year-old son “who will now grow up without his father.”
Stephanie Diller is the wife of the late Jonathan Diller.
Formerly known as Stephanie McCauley, she took on the name Stephanie Diller after marrying Jonathan.
Currently, there is limited information available about Stephanie.
However, it is a confirmed fact that Jonathan and Stephanie tied the knot in November 2019 at Our Lady of Lourdes.
In one joyful photo, the newlyweds lift their joined hands in the air as they leave the church surrounded by loved ones.
After getting married, the couple settled in the Bronx and soon welcomed a son into their lives.
Who was Jonathan Diller?
Diller, 31, was based at the 105th Precinct Satellite in Rosedale, Queens, near the Long Island border, where he resided. The shooting scene is around 4.5 miles from where he worked.
He had served with the NYPD for three years, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said in a tweet. Diller made more than 70 arrests during his short career.
How Diller’s murder unfolded?
The incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. in Far Rockaway, Queens, when Diller and his partner came across a vehicle that was illegally parked at a bus stop.
Upon approaching the vehicle, Diller was shot by a man inside, below his bullet-proof vest, as reported by the police.
In response, Diller’s partner fired back and injured the suspected shooter, who was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment.
Diller was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center but could not be saved, officials said.
The police department’s chief of detectives, Joseph Kenny, said Diller and his partner had initially tried to order the vehicle’s driver and passenger out of the car, which was stopped on a busy but narrow street in a bustling commercial district.
