Top NYPD brass gathered inside police headquarters on Friday—less than 48 hours after a rookie cop was shot in Queens—to declare the alleged gunman had been cuffed the evening prior.
Devin Spraggins of the Bronx appeared unapologetic while being escorted out of the 103rd Precinct stationhouse in Jamaica. He flipped his middle finger at awaiting press photographers while detectives led him down the stairs for his perp walk.
“Today we are announcing the arrest of a 22-year-old Queens man for the shooting of an NYPD officer earlier this week,” Police Commissioner Sewell said. “He could not evade our reach. Less than 30 hours after the shooting, he was tracked down to the Bronx and arrested. He will now be held to account.”
A 9 mm handgun that is believed to be the weapon used in the shooting was also recovered during the apprehension.
