Summary
Jennifer Lackard, 49, was charged Tuesday with attempted murder and conspiracy after prosecutors said she helped her son flee a June 29 shooting outside Bronx Criminal Court.
Police said Chase Lackard, 20, pulled a gun and fired at a group on East 162nd Street and Grant Avenue; he was charged with attempted murder, conspiracy and criminal possession of a firearm.
NYPD officers arrested both at their Bronx home on a warrant tied to charges from the Bronx district attorney’s office, according to law enforcement officials.
Mount Vernon said it removed Lackard from her deputy police commissioner post effective immediately, adding the case was unrelated to her work in the department’s Wellness division.
