McNeil is accused of shooting NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora in his mother’s apartment, where they had gone in response to her 911 call reporting a domestic dispute.

The ambush attack in a back hallway killed Rivera, a 22-year-old rookie, and sent the 27-year-old Mora to Harlem Hospital. He was transferred to New York University’s Langone Medical Center Sunday, still in critical condition.

A third officer, later identified as Sumit Sulan, was in a different room at the time of the gunfire. He drew his own weapon and critically wounded the alleged gunman.
