Incident

Dillon H. Stewart was a police officer assigned to the 70th Precinct in Brooklyn.

In the early morning of 28 November 2005, Officer Stewart and his partner were patrolling a troubled part of East Flatbush when they tried to pull over a driver, Allan Cameron, for running a red light. Cameron sped off. When the officers drew alongside his car, Cameron opened fire. One bullet passed through the armhole gap of Officer Stewart's protective vest and pierced his heart. Not realizing he had been hit, he kept up the pursuit until his wounds overcame him. Officers from the 70th Precinct rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he died after several hours of surgery.

On 11 October 2007, a Brooklyn jury found Cameron, 29, guilty of first-degree murder, and on 8 November 2007 Judge Albert Tomei sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Officer Stewart was survived by his wife and their two daughters. He was posthumously promoted to detective first grade on 30 November 2005, and in 2006 he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
