Officer DiNapoli was fatally shot while assisting other officers who were following a suspect in an unmarked vehicle. He was not assigned to the detail but volunteered for the assignment.
The gunman fled the scene and was found in Pennsylvania. That man, Eddie Morales was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
