Summary: |
Officer Daryl Pierson was shot and killed near the intersection of Hudson Avenue and Warsaw Street while involved in a foot pursuit of a suspect following a traffic stop.
Officer Pierson and his partner, Officer Michael DiPaola, responded to help other officers look for a suspect who fled on foot from a traffic stop. When they spotted a man matching the suspect's description, Pierson got out of the car and approached him. The suspect ran down Hudson Avenue and Pierson chased after.
Suspect Johnson fired two shots from a .25-caliber pistol; one struck Pierson and the other struck a bystander.
The man that Officer Pierson was chasing(Thomas Johnson III) had been paroled only three weeks prior while serving a sentence for attempted armed robbery.
Officer Pierson was the first Rochester cop to be killed since 1959.
