McNeil is accused of shooting NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora in his mother’s apartment, where they had gone in response to her 911 call reporting a domestic dispute.
The ambush attack in a back hallway killed Rivera, a 22-year-old rookie, and sent the 27-year-old Mora to Harlem Hospital. He was transferred to New York University’s Langone Medical Center Sunday, still in critical condition.
