Reward Rescinded For Information Regarding LI Trooper Shooting
Trooper Thomas Mascia was shot on the Southern State Parkway on Wednesday night.
ALBANY, NY — Amid new details from the Nassau County District Attorney and state police regarding the search for the suspect who shot a state trooper on the Southern State Parkway, the reward has been canceled by the Suffolk County Crime Stoppers.
The Suffolk County Crime Stoppers had offered up to $15,000 before the investigation into the shooting of Trooper Thomas Mascia took a different turn on Monday.
"Trooper Mascia embodies the qualities of selfless service and resilience that all PBA members bring to their work every day,” Troopers PBA President Charles W. Murphy said on Friday. “It’s essential that anyone with information about his shooter comes forward so we can get this dangerous individual off the streets. All of us in law enforcement will not rest until that happens."
