Bodycam footage caught the chilling final moments of slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller, including how he was blasted from about 2 feet away and gasped, “I’m hit!’’ before collapsing, a police source said Tuesday.
Diller, a 31-year-old married new dad, had just finished up on another call in the area as part of a three-person NYPD Community Response Team when he spotted a Kia Soul illegally parked at a nearby bus stop in Far Rockaway, Queens, shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, the high-ranking source said.
Diller — dressed in a modified CRT uniform of khaki pants and a blue top — went up to the passenger side of the vehicle, where hardened career criminal Guy Rivera, 34, was sitting, the source said.
The cop’s partner approached the driver’s side, where ex-con Lindy Jones, 41, was behind the wheel, the source said.
Something didn’t sit right with Diller.
“The cop had very good instincts,’’ the source said. “We believe they interrupted something, we just don’t know what. There’s something about the car sitting there that draws this cop to it.
