On October 18, 1988, NYPD Police Officer Michael Buczek of the 34 Pct. was shot and killed when he and his partner attempted to arrest two suspects on a drug charge in an apartment building at 580 West 161st Street in Washington Heights. One of the suspects shot Officer Buczek while attempting to run from the scene.
The three suspects fled to the Dominican Republic where one later died in police custody and a second was apprehended by the United States Marshals in 2000. The third suspect was apprehended in the Dominican Republic in May 2002. On June 19th, 2003, two of the suspects were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Today, the NYC Police Benevolent Association, Rockland County PBA, Orangetown PBA, and the Rockland County Shields honored Officer Buczek with a plaque that was presented to the Buczek Family at their family owned Dunkin’ in Pearl River, NY.

NYPD) and Teresa Kenny attended the ceremony. The room was completely packed with people having to observe from the outside.
