UPDATED: 62-Year-Old UES Man Killed By Cops In East Harlem, Police Say

HARLEM, NY – Police shot and killed a 62-year-old man near 103rd Street and 3rd Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, according to NYPD officials.

After “numerous 911 calls from members of the community” about a man with a gun, as well as ShotSpotter activations – technology which detects gunshots – police found a man with a gun in his hand near 1875 3rd Avenue, officials said.

Cops from the Police Service Area 5, which patrols the New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) Washington Houses, responded to the scene, and gave the man “numerous commands” to drop the gun, NYPD Housing Chief Martine Materasso said at a press conference.

Two officers opened fire, hitting the man, police said.

Although the officers performed CPR and immediately called EMS, the man was pronounced dead at an area hospital, according to officials.

A gun was recovered at the scene, police said.

“There are no other outstanding perpetrators at this time,” Materasso said, at the press conference.

An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

An address police provided for the deceased man appears to indicate that he was not a resident of Washington Houses.

“At least 10” people have been shot and killed by the NYPD so far this year, according to Gothamist.

'A Third-Generation New Yorker'

UPDATE: The New York Daily News spoke with Stephen Kelly, brother of Mark Kelly, who the NYPD confirmed was the man killed by the police in East Harlem on Sunday.

"He was a hardworking retired New York City ironworker and he lived in New York City all his life," Kelly told the Daily News. "He’s a third-generation New Yorker.”

Kelly lived on East 91st Street, between Lexington and 3rd Avenue, according to the NYPD.

The Daily News described him as growing up in a "working-class Irish-American area of the Upper East Side, 'the other Upper East Side ... the one that no one really cares about,'" according to Kelly's brother Stephen.

As he prepares to bury Mark, Stephen told the Daily News that while he loved his brother, he doesn't blame the police.

"My brother put those people in a bad spot and I have no rancor or blame for anybody,” Kelly said, adding that his brother had suffered from "mental depression."

"I know he wouldn’t want me to suffer but I’m suffering and I don’t know what to do about it but I’m just glad that he’s at peace and he won’t suffer anymore."

The incident remains under investigation, according to the NYPD.
