NYPD sergeant commits suicide on Long Island

An NYPD sergeant killed herself this morning in Long Island after fighting with her girlfriend, law enforcement sources said.

Stephanie Moses was found in the bedroom of her Baldwin home with a single gunshot wound to her head, sources added.

“On behalf of the New York City Police Department, I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Stephanie Moses who was, on so many occasions, the face of the NYPD on the national stage as well as routinely at police ceremonies,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

“She epitomized professionalism in her appearance, conduct and dedication to duty. The department has suffered a great loss today that is felt personally by the many who knew and respected Sgt. Moses.”   Moses spent most of her career in the Ceremonial Unit, sources added.

In May 2011, Moses was greeted by Barack Obama when he arrived at the 9/11 Memorial to lay a red-white-and-blue wreath where the Twin Towers once stood after top terrorist Osama Bin Laden was killed by Navy Seals in Pakistan.
