Randy "Popper" Jones had a string of prior arrests dating to 2008 when his shooting victim, Officer Adeed Fayaz was just 12 years old and dreaming of being a cop.
Adeed Fayaz, the police officer killed in a botched Brooklyn robbery while he was off-duty on Feb. 4, was laid to rest Thursday in an emotional funeral.
“Adeed was always happiest when talking about his children,” said Fayaz’ commanding officer, Jason Hagestad. “Adeed always had a positive attitude. He was always smiling. He was always confident. He was the go-to guy for any questions on patrol.”
