On December 20, 2014, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu – two on-duty New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers – were shot and killed by Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, United States. Brinsley then fled into the New York City Subway, where he killed himself. Earlier in the day, before he killed Ramos and Liu, Brinsley had shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend Shaneka Thompson in Baltimore.
