On Wednesday, April 20, 2022, the FBI's Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, which includes members of the Yonkers Police Department, were conducting an investigation into illegal firearms being brought into our community, when shots were fired on Elm Street and Linden Street, resulting in the tragic shooting of YPD Detective Brian Menton. A federal agent returned fire, striking the suspect who was pronounced dead at the hospital. Fortunately, Detective Menton was able to undergo emergency surgery, and is currently recovering in the hospital. Charges were filed against the other two suspects for trafficking illegal firearms.
I want to thank Detective Menton and all Yonkers police officers for putting their lives on the line on a daily basis to ensure our community is as safe as it can be. I wish Detective Menton a speedy recovery. My prayers are with him, his family, and the whole Nodine Hill community as we all recover from the trauma and lingering effects of gun violence in our communities.
