Guilty verdict in shooting of rookie Queens cop

Today a Queens jury found Devin Spraggins guilty of attempted murder for the April 2023 shooting of rookie 103 Pct. P.O. Brett Boller (now a detective).

PBA President Patrick Hendry said: “This case could not have been any clearer. This individual was carrying a loaded gun on our streets. He attacked an innocent bus passenger for no reason. He was determined to get away with those crimes at any cost, even if it meant murdering a New York City police officer. He didn’t succeed thanks to the courage and skill of our brother Brett Boller and his fellow police officers. We’re grateful that he is being held accountable with this verdict. Now he must receive the longest sentence the law allows.”

Spraggins will be sentenced on Dec. 2.
