How they died
Deadly force
Bourne and Fields were among a group of five men, three of whom appeared to wield semi-automatic handguns, who surrounded, threatened and robbed two Hispanics. The two happened to be undercover NYPD narcotics officers taking part in the "Operation Condor" drug crackdown. With weapons pressed against their heads and chests, the two officers opened fire with a barrage of 23 shots. Bourne and Fields were shot to death. The others fled. Their handguns had been toys wrapped in electrical tape.
