Murder weapon confirmed in NYC officer's death

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said Howard was a unsafe career criminal who never should have been on the streets, referring ot him as a "poster boy for not being diverted" to a treatment-oriented drug court instead of to prison.

Cops said Howard used a.40-caliber handgun to blast five-year NYPD veteran Holder once in the forehead. Afterwards, his body will be flown to his native Guyana for burial.

Rev. Al Sharpton has backed out of eulogizing Randolph Holder, the NYPD officer gunned down in East Harlem last week, after a police union boss objected to his speaking.

Holder, who patrolled NYCHA properties in Manhattan, was allegedly gunned down by one of his own wards - reported gang member Tyrone Howard, who lives in the East River Houses.

On Sunday, police divers recovered a gun in the Harlem River believed to be the weapon used to kill Holder last week. In the Post story, Holder's fiance Mary Muhammad was quoted as saying on Monday, "He didn't like". The wife and father of slain officer Wenjian Liu, who was murdered in his police vehicle with his partner, Rafael Ramos, in December, attended the wake.

"This is one of our fallen brothers, and our focus is on Officer Holder and his family", he said.

HANDOUT/REUTERS Howard is accused of gunning down NYPD Officer Randolph Holder (pictured) a week ago.

"This gun violence is a pariah in our community and it has to stop but we also have to say that our police officers are human", said community advocate Tony Herbert, who came up with this show of support.

Others stood on the steps of the church, performing a white glove salute as the casket, draped in an NYPD flag, was carried inside by eight officers.

Viewing and funeral services planned for Officer Holder Hundreds of law enforcement officials are expected to pay their respects at a viewing and funeral for Officer Holder this week.

We send our prayer's to the victim's family.

Sharpton said he was concerned that union leaders would turn the funeral into "some kind of confrontation".
