Suspect Killed, Three Law Enforcement Injured in a Bronx Shooting
Calendar icon December 13, 2020 | Reading Time: 2 min

A suspect died and two U.S. Marshals and a NYPD detective were injured in a Bronx shooting on December 4. The incident happened in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, on Ely Avenue, in the early morning around 5:30 a.m.

The marshals were executing a warrant for a suspect when the shooting occurred. Several police units rushed to the scene after the shooting began. The suspect was shot at the scene and died. The police identified him as thirty-five-year-old Andre Sterling. 

The man was wanted for allegedly shooting a Massachusetts State Police Trooper in the hand; that accident happened in Hyannis on Cape Cod on November 20.

The wounded Marshals and detective were immediately taken to Jacobi Hospital for medical treatments. Their injuries were non-life-threatening. The second suspect was also taken to the same hospital for treatment. 

Shooting is a severe crime that won’t go unpunished. The case becomes even more complex if the shooting is at officers. Shooting and killing a person is a mal intention.

If you were injured in a shooting and fear that you might not be able to cover your medical expenses, it’s time to seek help from a personal injury attorney.

First of all your lawyer would review your case and will tell you what you can expect in the future. Some cases are clear and the victim can easily collect their damages. However, things may become complex and may require deep knowledge and experience in the area. 

This is why you should never go alone in the legal process. If you were injured, be sure to focus on your well-being.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
