e/Murder of Russel Timoshenko

Information
has gloss	eng: Russel Timoshenko (August 18, 1983 – July 14, 2007) was a 23 year-old New York Police Department (NYPD) police officer who was shot and killed on July 9, 2007, after pulling over a stolen BMW automobile in New York City's Crown Heights, Brooklyn neighborhood. After a four day manhunt that stretched across three states, all three suspects were eventually apprehended and convicted—two of murder, and the third for weapons possession. At his widely attended funeral, Timoshenko was posthumously promoted to the rank of Detective. The case garnered national media attention because the weapons used were all illegally obtained handguns. This sparked widespread debate over gun control laws in New York City, and over the process by which firearms are traced by police departments.
