A police officer and father<\/a> who was killed in an NYC mass shooting while working at a Park Avenue building nearly a year ago was honored at a street renaming Saturday in The Bronx.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Didarul Islam Way was unveiled at a ceremony at E. 172nd Street and Beach Avenue in Soundview attended by the slain officer\u2019s family and friends, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and other NYPD officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBy placing Didar\u2019s name on this street in his family\u2019s neighborhood in the Bronx, New York is making him part of the landscape of the city he chose as his home and devoted himself to serving,\u201d Tisch said in a post on X after the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A friend held the dead officer\u2019s photo with the words \u201cNever Forget\u201d written under it. TOMAS E. GASTON<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce a person\u2019s name is placed in our community, that life becomes part of the story New York tells about itself,\u201d her post reads. \u201cDidarul Islam earned that place in our story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old police officer was working a security detail in uniform at 345 Park Ave. in Midtown Manhattan when a gunman walked into the lobby carrying an assault rifle and opened fire on July 28, 2025, striking him with the first fatal shot.<\/p>\n

The gunman, 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura, killed four people with an AR-15-style rifle. He then fatally shot himself.<\/p>\n

Investigators determined he was targeting the NFL because he thought he was suffering<\/a> from the football-related brain injury chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE. An autopsy later found that he actually was suffering <\/a>from the condition.<\/p>\n

Islam\u2019s wife, who was pregnant when he was killed and had a son a short time later, attended the event with her three young sons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMay Didarul Islam Way always remind us of his devotion to New York and to the family at the center of his life,\u201d Tisch said in her post on X. \u201c May his memory continue to be a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
