New York Yankees held a moment of silence in honor of NYPD officer Didarul Islam before the first pitch of Tuesday’s Matchup with Tampa Bay Rays.
“Before tonight’s game, we held a moment of silence in Memoriam from NYPD police officer Didarul Islam, who was tragically killed in Midtown shooting yesterday,” Yankees wrote at X.
An office building was the site of a mass shooting that left five dead, including Didarul when a gunman freed fire inside before taking his own life.
