Shooting spree suspect tackled by NYPD upon surrender in Brooklyn

Video footage obtained by the New York Post depicts NYPD police officers pointing their guns at gang member and double murder suspect Sundance Oliver as he voluntarily walked into a Brooklyn police station to surrender, Tuesday. 

Despite the suspect’s willingness to surrender with his hands up at the NYPD’s 77th precinct, the 28-year-old was tackled to the ground and immediately surrounded by several officers.

Oliver surrendered only hours after the NYPD started a police manhunt to track him down.

The video obtained by the Post depicts three NYPD officers aiming their firearms at Oliver as he crossed the threshold of the station doorway while one officer assembled in riot gear yanked him by his neck and tackled him to the floor.

The officer then forced Oliver onto his stomach and smacked handcuffs around his wrists.

Nearly 20 other NYPD officers, some wearing tactical gear quickly entered the scene to secure Oliver’s arrest.

The NYPD suspects Oliver was involved in a Monday shooting that left two dead and an elderly, wheelchair-bound man seriously injured.

Oliver allegedly shot a 96-year-old in the leg while hoping to get a bus in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn. Police believe Oliver, who is a member of the Loop Gang may have been targeting another a woman whose coat and cash he stole, according to NYPD sources.

Hours later, Oliver reached lower Manhattan where he allegedly shot 21-year-old Kevon Langston once in the leg and twice in the chest. Langston was rushed to the hospital but died.

Shortly after his Manhattan visit, Oliver purportedly returned to Crown Heights—to the same public housing project where the senior citizen was shot—and allegedly killed a 17-year-old minor named Keyaira Rattray-Brothers.

As a result of the killing spree, police initiated an immediate manhunt to find Oliver, who they called “armed and extremely dangerous.” 

Oliver is currently on parole for another shooting incident in 2014.

In that incident, Oliver shot a man he robbed in Brooklyn. The purported gang member has 11 other arrests on record, several of which are firearm related.
