Police shot and killed a parolee who was waving a gun around during a fight in upper Manhattan Sunday morning.

Uniformed police officers were at Nagle Avenue and Dyckman Street in Inwood around 3 a.m. when they saw the armed 29-year-old, who was out on parole for drugs, involved in a fight and ordered him to drop the weapon, NYPD Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey said.

“They observe a dispute,” Maddrey said. “As they get closer to the dispute, they observe a male with a gun in his hand fighting in the crowd. The officers exit their vehicle and give commands for the person to drop the firearm.”

The officers yelled “repeated commands” and then discharged their weapons, he said.

“They discharge multiple rounds striking the suspect with the gun about the body,” Maddrey said.

The man, who has had “prior contact with police,” was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he died, Maddrey said. His identity wasn’t immediately released.

Another man in the crowd suffered a graze wound, but it wasn’t clear who shot him, Maddrey said.

Four police officers fired their weapons, Maddrey said. They were taken to a local hospital and treated for tinnitus. 

Police were unsure what the disturbance was about.

According to a police source, the dead man at least eight prior busts for drugs, robbery and gang assault, and was last arrested in April 2018.

He had been on parole since Aug. 2, 2021, for a drug conviction stemming from a 2017 arrest, the source said. He was supposed to be on parole through July 2024.
