NYPD officer Miosotis Familia, 48, was fatally shot in the Bronx Monday night.

Familia, a mother of three, was ‘assassinated’ in the unprovoked attack, police said.

She was shot while sitting in a marked NYPD command vehicle near the corner of Morris Avenue and East 183rd Street in the Bronx around 12:30 a.m. The officer was assigned with a partner in a mobile command post when the suspect, Alexander Bonds, fired through the vehicle’s window striking her in the head. Her partner immediately radioed for assistance.

An anti-crime team, consisting of a sergeant and a police officer, who were in uniform, encountered Bonds running on Morris Avenue, approximately one block from the scene of the shooting. As they confronted him, he drew a revolver. The officers fired at him, striking and killing him. A silver revolver was recovered at the scene.

During the encounter with the suspect, another individual, believed to be a bystander, was struck by a bullet. That person is in stable condition.

The officer was transported to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where she later died.

“Based on what we know now, it is clear that this was an unprovoked direct attack on police officers who were assigned to keep the people of this city safe,” Police Commissioner James P. O’Neill said.

Bonds had expressed a hatred toward police officers in a video posted to Facebook last September.
