Ramos was gunned down with his partner, Detective Wenjian Liu, while on duty in Brooklyn on Dec. 20, 2014.
The shooter, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, walked up behind the cop car Ramos and Liu were in and killed the two officers. Brinsley then ran to the G line subway station at Myrtle-Willoughby Avenues where he shot himself in the head on the platform.
