Police are searching for the gunman who shot and killed an off-duty Customs and Border Protection Officer in Queens early Monday morning.
It appears the man known as "Big Mo" was killed while protecting a relative.
CBS 2 HD obtained a picture that captures one of Maurice Gordon's proudest moments -- his 2007 graduation from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency.
His proud father can't believe he's gone.
"He is the best son that would come on the Earth man and I will miss him until I die. This death will carry me to my grave," Desmond Gordon said.
It was about 4:30 a.m. Monday when Gordon returned home here to his parents' house from a nightclub with a female cousin. He was met with a barrage of bullets. Police later recovered about 25 shell casings from across the street.
Relatives said the trouble began hours earlier at "Moments" nightclub in Elmont. They said several men began harassing Gordon's female cousin. That's when the 6-foot-3, 250-pound former bouncer intervened on her behalf.
"My brother may have said something to the guys to try and diffuse the situation and it may have been that, they followed him home," said Dionne Gordon, the victim's sister.
Witnesses said the gunman took direct aim at Maurice Gordon while his cousin ran inside to call 911.
Upon hearing the gunshots the elder Gordon rushed out to the street only to find his son unconscious and bleeding on the sidewalk.
"I said 'Maurice, Maurice, this is your father. Are you okay?' And he didn't answer me," Desmond Gordon said.
Maurice Gordon was himself a father. Among the family members who'll miss his broad shoulders is his 14-month-old daughter.
Most recently Gordon was assigned to John F. Kennedy Airport.
