I worked on that homicide when I was in Major Case. We actually found a witness who was 14 at the time and was in the mosque. He had never been interviewed. Didn’t see the actual shooting but helped corroborate some info that came out at the trial. We met with Phil’s son to discuss the case.
Good on you Brother. Years ago I read Al Seedman’s book “Chief”. Very impressive career. Turns out he put in his retirement papers with days of the mosque 🕌 shooting.
Carrillo was the NYPD officer murdered in the Mosque. Chief Sedman was the Ranking NYPD official at the scene. Got bullied by Farakon and local/federal politicians. As a result the suspects were released and the crime scene wasn’t secured. An agreement was made that the suspects would turn themselves in the next day. Never happened. Mayor Lindsey was a no show at the scene. To Sedman’s credit, he requested additional help to have more Cops bused to the scene, but was denied. The murder of Officer Phillip Carrillo is a lasting blemish on the NYPD. May he rest in Peace 🙏
My understanding is that it was Charlie Rangel who convinced Seedman to let the perps out of the mosque, promising that they'd give themselves up later. Of course, they never did -- and the case remains unsolved to this day.
