Yvonne Wu, 31, was arraigned by the New York Attorney General's Office, where she faces murder charges after fatally shooting her ex-girlfriend's new lover on October 13
An NYPD cop on suicide watch after allegedly shooting her ex-girlfriend and killing her female lover was held without bail pending an exam to determine if she understands the murder and assault charges against her.
Yvonne Wu, 31, fatally shot her girlfriend Jenny Li's new lover Jamie Liang, 24, on October 13 in Li's Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, home after sneaking in the backdoor and waiting for the pair, according to prosecutors.
Wu was quietly arraigned on second-degree murder and attempted murder charges in Brooklyn Criminal Court in front of Judge Joshua Glick, the New York Attorney General's Office released in a statement Monday.
It is unknown if the cop attended the arraignment in-person or via video link. She remains hospitalized on suicide watch at NYU Langone Medical Center after telling officers at the scene that she was suicidal.
New York's Attorney General Letitia James, 63, launched an investigation on Friday into the fatal love triangle.
Wu allegedly killed her ex-girlfriend's new lover after Li, 23, and she broke up last month.
Wu - who has been a cop for five years and works out of the 72nd Precinct just four miles away from Li's home - shot Liang in the chest and Li in the torso, prosecutors said.
Liang died in the hospital 50 minutes later. Li survived.
