Mayor Eric Adams issued a warning on Monday to anyone who uses guns to commit crimes.
"The evidence doesn't lie, science is coming for you faster than ever," Adams said."The OCM...DNA crimes unit achieves a 30-day or less turnaround time for testing analysis of evidence for gun crimes," the mayor added.A year ago, the city created a DNA Gun Crimes Unit within the Medical Examiner's Office.
Just recovering a gun is a start, but getting that DNA information can help answer a litany of questions. "Who pulled the trigger? Is it connected to other crimes, other shooters? Filling in those gaps and building a strong case requires many hands," said First Deputy Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
