A high-ranking member of the Bloods street gang who shot a firefighter in a Staten Island home Friday died in a gunfight with police following a six-hour standoff during which an NYPD helicopter flew down to Delaware to retrieve the suspect’s mother as part of negotiations, law enforcement officials said.
Garland Tyree, 38, was found dead in the home on Destiny Court in Mariners Harbor after a shootout at about 11:45 a.m., police said. Police officials said that his death came sometime after he ascended the stairs from his girlfriend’s basement apartment and opened fire with a fully automatic AK-47 assault rifle. Tactical police squads returned fire, but it wasn’t entirely clear if Tyree was killed by officers’ bullets or if he took his own life.
A 6 a.m. post on Tyree’s Facebook page included the message “Today I die.” Police said writings about gang activity were also on the Facebook page.
Tyree, a member of the Nine Trey Gangsters chapter of the Bloods, had been barricaded in the home since about 6 a.m., when he shot FDNY Lt. Jim Hayes, who had responded to the residence after U.S. Marshals tried to execute a parole violation warrant for the convicted felon.
Marshals had gone into the Tyree’s basement apartment and found it full of smoke, so they called in the FDNY, police said. Hayes, a 31-year veteran with the force, went into the apartment to look for people inside and found Tyree hiding in the shower. That’s when the man allegedly opened fire, hitting Hayes in the buttocks and ankle.
