The cold-blooded fiend who assassinated two police officers was a troubled, violent and suicidal transient who frightened even his own mother, authorities said Sunday.
Gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley had a “very troubled childhood” and had previously tried to kill himself, his mother told authorities, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.
“The mother expressed fear of him, and she said she hasn’t seen him in one month,” Boyce said. “Brinsley attempted suicide in the past and attempted to hang himself a year ago.”
The 28-year-old cop killer, who is estranged from his family, has a criminal record that stretches back at least a decade, with arrests in Ohio and Georgia.

Brinsley had a long criminal record, with four arrests in Ohio and 15 in Georgia.The 28-year-old's rap sheet included misdemeanor assault, shoplifting, grand larceny and gun possession.


Brinsley had 15 prior arrests in Georgia for misdemeanor assault, shoplifting, grand larceny and gun possession, Boyce said.
Brinsley was also arrested four times in Ohio for robbery and misdemeanor theft and did a two-year prison stint from August 2011 to July 2013 for criminal possession of a weapon, said Boyce. In one 2011 plea deal, he answered “yes” when asked if he had ever been in a mental institution or under the care of a psychiatrist, court records show.
Despite the long rap sheet, a friend of Brinsley said he was shocked to hear about the twisted execution, describing the killer as a smart and “God-fearing” man.

“This would’ve never crossed my mind for him to do something like this,” said Jay Romero, who spent a month with Brinsley last Christmas.
“It brought tears to my eyes. No human has the right to take any human’s life, that’s wrong,” said Romero, 29. “What he did is a cowardly move. I don’t know what he went through, what was on his mind.”
After shooting his ex-girlfriend in Maryland, cops said Brinsley drove to Brooklyn and ambushed Officers Rafael Ramos, 40, and Wenjian Liu, 32, as they were sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn. He then blew his brains out on a nearby G train platform.

Romero, a janitor in a Las Vegas casino, said he met Brinsley two years ago in Los Angeles.
Romero said Brinsley visited him for a month last year, before he left to see friends in Boston.
He’d also stay with his mom in Brooklyn, pals in Atlanta and his girlfriend outside Baltimore. “He didn’t have a stable place to live,” said Romero.
HANDOUT/REUTERS The cop killer had a 'very troubled childhood' and had previously tried to take his own life, according to his mom.

He said Brinsley had two daughters and had been dating a woman in Baltimore for a long time and mentioned her often.
“He always talked about her, that she was the only girl he loved,” he said.
Brinsley’s rampage started about 5:45 a.m. when he shot ex-girlfriend Shaneka Thompson in Owings Mills, Md., police said.
Ismaaiyl Brinsley posted pictures with chilling captions on Instagram before going on his rampage.

He stole the 29-year-old woman’s phone and took off to his native Brooklyn, posting ominous messages on Instagram showing his bloodstained pants and the handgun that was later used to murder the officers.
Romero said Brinsley would often post news stories on his Facebook page, but never accompanied them with strong opinions. He didn’t remember Brinsley talking about killing cops.
Officer Rafael Ramos, 40, and Officers Wenjian Liu, 32, were assassinated by a gunman while sitting in their patrol car on Saturday afternoon.

Officials said it didn’t appear that Brinsley was affiliated with any gang.
Brinsley was Muslim and also went by Isaiah and Moses, Romero said.
The Vegas man said he’d refer to his friend as “Brooklyn” when they texted each other.
“He was very proud of being where he was from, Brooklyn,” he said.
