Detective Dalsh Veve, 67 Precinct
On June 3, 2017, at approximately 11:30 p.m., two 67 Precinct Anti-Crime teams responded to multiple calls of shots fired in the vicinity of Tilden Avenue and East 53rd Street, in Brooklyn. Upon arrival at the location, the officers observed a large house party and determined the "shots fired" were the sounds of fireworks
detonating. A short time later, Detective Veve approached an auto and interacted with the occupants. During the interaction, the vehicle pulled off, dragging Detective Veve who was affixed to the driver's side door.
The vehicle traveled at a high rate of speed westbound on Tilden Avenue and made a right turn northbound on East 53rd Street. While still affixed to the vehicle, Detective Veve fired a single round from his weapon, however, the vehicle continued to drag him. Detective Veve discharged a second round, striking the driver, at which time Detective Veve was dislodged from the vehicle. The vehicle then careened into the rear of a parked
vehicle in front of 354 East 53rd Street. Detective Veve lay motionless on the ground while the occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled northbound on East 53rd Street, on foot.
At the point when the perpetrator's vehicle initially began to flee, Police Officer Becker gave chase on foot and the remaining members of the Anti-Crime Team gave chase in their vehicles, arriving at 354 East 53rd Street moments later. When the officers arrived, Detective eve was lying unconscious on the ground and
the perpetrator's vehicle was unoccupied. Responding officers placed Detective Veve in the rear seat of their Department auto, and immediately removed him to Kings County Hospital.
Detective Veve suffered a traumatic brain injury and was hospitalized for an extended period of time and underwent multiple surgeries. Eventually, he was transferred to the Kessler Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey. Detective Veve has since been released from the rehabilitation center and is currently continuing his rehabilitation at his residence, where he still needs 24-hour care, due to his injuries.
