Overview
- Det. Corey Fisher, a 12-year NYPD veteran, was discharged from Jamaica Hospital after gunshot wounds to his left leg and right hand, with doctors expecting a recovery that could take weeks to months.
- Suspect Kevin Dubuisson, 28, was arrested and arraigned on robbery, assault on a police officer, grand larceny and menacing charges; he is being held without bail and could face more than 30 years if convicted.
- Police say Dubuisson attempted multiple carjackings starting at a Mobil station in Whitestone and later near the Whitestone Expressway, prompting a response by undercover narcotics detectives and uniformed patrol officers.
- NYPD officials report that three 109th Precinct officers opened fire as they approached, striking Fisher in a friendly-fire incident recorded on body cameras that investigators are now reviewing.
- Authorities say Dubuisson was on parole and had nearly a dozen prior arrests, including a desk appearance ticket for turnstile jumping the day before; police say he wielded a metal object and simulated having a gun but did not carry a firearm.
