A leader of one of New York City’s police unions has criticized what appears to have been an attempt by the NYPD to shield an alleged killer and MS-13 gang member from media scrutiny.

Ramiro Gutierrez, 26, was charged Feb. 5 with the murder of Abel Mosso, 20. The homicide was committed on a subway platform in Queens in the middle of the day on Feb. 3.
