The Yankees recently paid tribute to NYPD officer Didarul Islam

Meanwhile, on July 29, 2025, the New York Yankees paid tribute to an officer named Didarul Islam, who was working for the NYPD. The baseball team maintained a moment of silence before the beginning of their match with the Tampa Bay Rays, as stated by Fox News.

In addition, the Yankees posted a photo through their official handle on X the following day. They wrote in the caption that Didarul died in a shooting incident that happened a day before the match, and added:

“The entire Yankees organization sends its condolences to his family as well as to the families of the other victims of this senseless act of violence.”

According to Fox News, Didarul lost his life in a building after someone started firing shots inside. The incident led to the death of five people, and the suspect involved in the case later allegedly died by suicide.

Apart from the Yankees expressing their grief, flags were put in various government buildings as part of paying tribute to Didarul.
