Family members and a girlfriend say Alexander Bonds refused to take his
medication for paranoid schizophrenia and walked the streets in distress
in the hours before police say he killed a NYPD officer early
Wednesday. An aunt, Nancy Kearse, told The New York Times the
Bronx man had only been home for a week after he was hospitalized for a
mental breakdown in which he had threatened to kill people. According to
the New York Post, an unnamed girlfriend told law-enforcement investigators that Bonds was “unhinged” in the hours before the shooting,
and she called 911 three times Tuesday night for help, but “every time
he saw a cop car go down the block he would go and hide.” Bonds was shot
dead by police a block away from the NYPD vehicle where he allegedly
killed Officer Miosotis Familia.
