The murderer who gunned down two NYPD police officers in December was betrayed by his friends, passed around from home to home as a teenager and was sexually abused as a child.
Ismaaiyl Brinsley killed Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu as they sat in their marked patrol car in the Bedford-Stuyvenstant district of Brooklyn on December 20 before shooting himself.
The 28-year-old's vile act was in part motivated by the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police officers, but his friends have struggled to understand what led him to commit such an atrocity.
His unstable upbringing and emotional turmoil leading up to December 20 may be to blame.
The New York Times revealed that his friends betrayed him in May when they pistol-whipped him and robbed him while the girlfriend he was madly in love with dumped him around Thanksgiving, prompting him to try and take his own life.
He was also passed around from home to home as a teenager and abandoned by his parents.
When he was 14 years old, he tried to kill himself after being sexually abused while he lived a virtually homeless existence.
