Brooklyn, New York — On Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at approximately 8:39 a.m., Police Officer Orlando Adorno along with other officers, assigned to patrol in the 79th Precinct and attired in uniform, responded to a 911 call for a dispute in the vicinity of Gates Avenue and Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn. Upon arrival, the officers were met on the sidewalk by the caller and 41-year-old Raheen Joye. After interviewing the 9-1-1 caller and Joye, and observing evidence at the scene, Police Officer Adorno and the other officers informed Joye that he was being placed under arrest. As the officers attempted to take Joye into custody, he began to resist them and attempted to flee. Ballistic evidence recovered from this scene revealed that Joye discharged at least one shot from his firearm.

During the struggle with the officers, Joye retrieved a firearm from his person and discharged it, striking Police Officer Adorno in the right foot. He then fled the location on foot. In response to calls for assistance, Police Officer Bowie and Police Officer Bido, along with other officers, responded to the location and were informed of Joye's direction of flight. The officers travelled in that direction in their vehicles and observed Joye running eastbound on the south sidewalk of Monroe Street. Joye was struck by the gunfire and fell to the ground. He was taken into custody without further incident. In response, Police Officer Bowie discharged five shots from his service firearm, and Police Officer Bido discharged one shot from his service firearm. Police Officer Bowie and Police Officer Bido then pursued Joye on foot.

During the pursuit, Joye again produced the firearm, brandished it in his right hand, and discharged it at the pursing officers. Ballistic evidence recovered from this scene revealed that Joye discharged at least two shots from his firearm. For his actions, Joye was subsequently arrested and charged with Attempted Murder of a Police Officer (five counts), Attempted Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer (five counts), Criminal Possession of a Loaded Firearm, and related charges. Police Officer Adorno was taken via NYPD vehicle to Kings County Hospital Center, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to his right foot. Joye was taken by ambulance to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and later discharged.
