Former NYPD Officer Pleads Guilty in 2021 Love Triangle Shooting

Former NYPD officer Yvonne Wu pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and second-degree attempted murder for the 2021 shooting of her ex-girlfriend, Jenny Li, and the murder of Li's new partner, Jamie Liang, in Li's Brooklyn apartment. Wu, who used her police-issued gun while off-duty, admitted to waiting for hours in Li's home before committing the crime. The plea deal suggests a 27-year prison sentence, which includes 22 years for manslaughter and five years for attempted murder, although the judge has yet to officially accept the agreement. The incident has led to a wrongful death lawsuit against Wu and the city, alleging that the NYPD knew Wu was psychologically unfit to carry a firearm. Wu's official sentencing is scheduled for August 28.
