   QUEENS - Jonathan Diller, the NYPD officer shot and killed during a   
   traffic stop in Queens, leaves behind a wife and a one-year-old son "who   
   will now grow up without his father."   
      
   A vigil will be held at Brady Park in Massapequa Park on Wednesday at 7   
   p.m. Visitation will be held on Thursday and Friday. Diller’s funeral is   
   planned for Saturday morning.   
      
   "You were a good man and a great father whose shoes can never be filled,"   
   Diller's brother-in-law, Jonathan McAuley, who is also a cop posted to   
   Facebook, FOX 5 NY's Jodi Goldberg confirmed. He also shared a photo with   
   what appears to be Diller's son wearing a shirt that reads, "My Daddy's   
   life matters."   
      
   McAuley promised to look after Diller’s son as if he were his own.   
      
   Diller grew up in Franklin Square and later moved to Massapequa Park.   
      
   "It’s a big extended family and our hearts go out to the NYPD family,"   
   Danny Pearl, Mayor of the Village of Massapequa Park said. "It’s a   
   tremendous loss."   
      
   A neighbor spent Tuesday tying blue bows to the porches of those who lived   
   near Diller.   
      
   "I’m getting more emotional," James Bonilla said. "It’ll be a sad moment   
   in the neighborhood. It’ll be one less person at the block party."   
      
   Bonilla and Naomi Sanchez already have a blue ribbon hanging from the   
   front door post of their home. Their son is a Nassau police officer.   
      
   "Every day that my son goes to work I pray cause you know he’s going to   
   work and you never know if he’s coming back," Sanchez said.   
      
   Diller's murder in Far Rockaway on Monday marks the first slaying of an   
   NYPD officer in two years.   
      
   "We lost one of our sons today, and it is extremely painful," NYC Mayor   
   Eric Adams said at a press conference. "It is extremely painful."   
      
   Diller, 31, was based at the 105th Precinct Satellite in Rosedale, Queens,   
   near the Long Island border, where he resided. The shooting scene is   
   around 4.5 miles from where he worked.   
      
   He had served with the NYPD for three years, NYPD Commissioner Edward   
   Caban said in a tweet. Diller made more than 70 arrests during his short   
   career, sources tell FOX 5 NY.   
      
   Fellow officers escorted Diller's flag-draped from Jamaica Hospital on   
   Monday night.   
      
   "Surrounded by family and the men and women in blue, he was walked out   
   honorably, to many tears and salutes from Jamaica Hospital. What started   
   out as an everyday car stop, instantly became a moment where so many lives   
   would be turned upside down," Diller's brother-in-law, who goes by Jonny   
   Mac on Facebook, posted.   
      
   Timeline: How Diller's murder unfolded?   
   The shooting happened just before 6 p.m. in Far Rockaway, Queens, after   
   Diller and his partner encountered a vehicle illegally parked at a bus   
   stop.   
      
   According to police, as the pair approached the vehicle, a man inside shot   
   Diller below his bullet-proof vest, Caban said. Diller’s partner returned   
   fire and wounded the suspected shooter, who was brought to a hospital.   
      
   Diller was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center but could not be   
   saved, officials said.   
      
   The police department’s chief of detectives, Joseph Kenny, said Diller and   
   his partner had initially tried to order the vehicle's driver and   
   passenger out of the car, which was stopped on a busy but narrow street in   
   a bustling commercial district.   
      
   "When the officers took him out of the car, rather than stepping out of   
   the car, he shot our officer."   
      
   — Joseph Kenny   
   "He was asked to leave the car," Kenny said of the person who pulled the   
   gun. "He was given a lawful order numerous times to step out of the car.   
   He refused. And when the officers took him out of the car, rather than   
   stepping out of the car, he shot our officer."   
      
   Kenny said Diller "stayed in the fight" after being wounded and tried to   
   disarm the shooter, whose name was not immediately released by police.   
      
   "The gun hit the ground. And as the perpetrator was still reaching for it,   
   this cop was able to grab it, although he was still shot," Kenny said.   
      
   The slaying was the first of an NYPD officer since 2022 when two officers   
   – Wilbert Mora, 27, and Jason Rivera, 22 – were ambushed in a Harlem   
   apartment building after responding to a domestic disturbance call.   
      
   Who is the shooter?   
   The gunman has been identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera.   
      
   According to Mayor Eric Adams, Rivera has more than 20 prior arrests.   
      
   Charges against him are pending and Rivera remains in stable condition at   
   Jamaica Hospital.   
      
   What are officials saying?   
   Adams said he met with Diller’s grieving widow. He called the shooting a   
   "senseless act of violence."   
      
   "These attacks on New York City police officers have to end right now."   
      
   — Patrick Hendry   
   "Can I say it any clearer? It is the good guys against the bad guys," he   
   said. "And these bad guys are violent. They carry guns. And the symbol of   
   our public safety, which is that police uniform, they have a total   
   disregard for."   
      
   Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association of New   
   York, expressed anger over the shooting.   
      
   "These attacks on New York City police officers have to end right now," he   
   said. "We have a family upstairs that’s devastated. We have police   
   officers in this hallway who lost a brother. It has to end now."
