The NYPD is searching for three men they believe were involved in the fatal shooting of Officer Randolph Holder in East Harlem on Tuesday.
Holder was allegedly shot in the head by Tyrone Howard at around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday while attempting to break up a gun battle at East 102nd Street and the FDR Drive. Howard, who allegedly opened fire on Holder, has since been arrested, but cops say they have video surveillance of three additional men who were involved in the gun battle at the time.
Two videos have been released. You can watch below:
