Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch are holding a press conference Thursday afternoon touting crime statistics for New York City.
The briefing comes amid two recent high-profile shootings in the last 24 hours. Early Thursday, NYPD officers shot and killed a man allegedly arm with a gun who was on parole in the Bronx. And a 7-month-old was killed by an apparent stray bullet Wednesday afternoon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The child’s death comes amid a sustained period of dropping crime in New York City. Through Sunday, the NYPD had recorded 52 killings so far in 2026, down 29% from the same period last year. The city is on track to finish the first quarter with killings and shootings near their lowest in decades.
