Posted by Jeff Rosen on Sun Feb 8 17:01:12 2009, in response to The "Infamous" Wilson Ave Station, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Feb 8 14:40:57 2009. The Wilson Av Station was very infamous in a very tragic way, much different than the humorous paragraphs in this story. On Sept 21, 1983, the first female police officer in NYC history to be killed in the line of duty was killed in an incident that started in the Wilson Avenue Station. While on plainclothes patrol with District 33 of the Transit Police Dept she saw a perp, Darryl Jeter (no relation to Derek that I know of) snatch a chain and jump off a train at Wilson. She chased him into the cemetery where a struggle ensued, the perp took her gun and shot her dead. According to the perp's own confession, he made her get on her knees and beg for her life before shooting her. The only other NYC female P.O. killed was Moira on 9-11.I remember the incident well. When she failed to report to Dist. 33 to sign out a city wide missing was put over the police radios. I was working out of the 73 in Brownsville at the time and took part in the search. A year later I took part in the ceremony at District 33 to put the plaque in the station house. (The station house was not yet in Bway Junc station yet, it was a separate building. http://www.odmp.org/officer/8301-police-officer-irma-lozada (note: the details in the link are not accurate, she was found in the cemetery, not a parking lot and she didn't split up with her partner after the chase started, they went their seperate ways earlier and she was working alone.) |
