A suspected member of the Baltimore gang Black Guerilla Family shot and injured an ex-girlfriend Saturday, December 20, before driving to New York City, where he killed two NYPD police officers who were sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn.
According to the Associated Press, 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, walked up to the open passenger window of the patrol car and shot Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in the head.
“The perp came out of the houses, walked up behind the car and lit them up,” a high-ranking police official told The New York Daily News.
"They were, quite simply, assassinated — targeted for their uniform. ... They were ambushed and murdered," said Police Commissioner William Bratton
Brinsley then ran to a nearby subway station and shot himself.

Earlier in the day Brinsley warned his Instagram followers of his intentions.
"I'm putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let's take 2 of theirs," Brinsley wrote. "#Shootthepolice #RIPErivGardner #RIPMikeBrown. This may be my final post. I'm putting pigs in a blanket."

Brinsley was active on social media. He reportedly stole his injured ex-girlfriend's phone and updated his Facebook page and IG with ominous messages.
In one of his last Instagram posts he quoted lyrics from 50 Cent's "Green Lantern" freestyle.
"Never had a hot gun on your waist and blood on your shoe...Nigga you ain't been through what I been through You not like me and I'm not like you."

The shooter was reportedly a member of the Black Guerrilla Family, who have declared war on the police, according to The New York Daily News.
“BGF has been talking about getting back at cops for Eric Garner and Ferguson,” a source told The New York Daily News.
The NYPD were warned about the threat of violence from BGF in a letter earlier this month.
