The “bored” teen punk who allegedly set a fire that killed one NYPD cop and critically injured another was indicted on a second-degree murder charge Friday afternoon in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
A grand jury has been considering evidence since Officer Dennis Guerra, 38, of Far Rockaway — a married father of four — was pronounced dead from his injuries Wednesday morning at Montefiore Medical Center.
Marcell Dockery, 16, was originally charged with first-degree assault for setting the blaze last Sunday on the 13th floor of a housing project at 2007 Surf Ave. in Coney Island.
Roughly 30 of Guerra’s fellow cops were in the courtroom awaiting the charges to be upgraded, but left after the lunch break.
Guerra’s grieving relatives did not attend.
Officer Rosa Rodriguez, 36, remains hospitalized with critical injuries she suffered in the blaze.
