This hero WOD is dedicated to Detective Miosotis Familia of the New York Police Department, who was shot and killed on July 5, 2017 while sitting in a marked mobile command post vehicle at the intersection of East 183rd Street and Morris Avenue in the Bronx.
At around 12:30 a.m., a male approached the vehicle and fired one shot through the window, striking Detective Familia in the head. Officers confronted the shooter and fatally shot him.
She was promoted to the rank of detective posthumously. In her honor, Ryer Street near the 46th Precinct was renamed Detective Miosotis Familia in July 2018.
