Rivera, the 34-year-old suspected of fatally shooting Diller during a traffic stop, was indicted for first-degree murder for homicide and first-degree attempted murder for attempting to fire his weapon at an NYPD sergeant at the scene. Both defendants were indicted on charges of criminal possession of a weapon for a second weapon found in the car.
"We need to make sure we hold people accountable. They go after our law enforcement. Going after law enforcement in the city of New York sends a message. We want to send a message back. You can't do that. We will indict you for it. And today we did that," Katz continued.
