NYPD Officer Dies During Kuwait Deployment Amid U.S.-Iran Conflict
NYPD Officer Sorffly Davius died of a medical episode at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, while deployed in support of the U.S.-Iran conflict. A veteran Army National Guard major who joined the NYPD in 2014, Davius served with the 42nd Infantry Division and on Joint Task Force Empire Shield; Gov. Hochul and New York City leaders, including the mayor and police commissioner, paid tribute to him and his family. The incident underscores the sacrifices of National Guard members who balance civilian and military duties as part of broader U.S. military operations in the region.
