Inwood, Manhattan (WABC) — An NYPD detective who was killed last year while responding to a domestic violence call was honored Saturday by the namesake of the same street where he grew up.

“He lived life on his own terms, and today we name this street in the community he loved ‘Jason Rivera Way,'” Mayor Adams said.
The southwest corner of 204th Street and Sherman Avenue in the Inwood neighborhood is now known as “Detective Jason “Tata” Rivera Way.”
Last year, Rivera and his partner, Officer Wilbert Mora, were killed while responding to a domestic call in Harlem.
