The East Coast leader of the Bloods ordered police to fly his mother from Delaware to New York City before deliberately running into the line of fire at the end of a six-hour stand-off.
Garland 'S.I.' Tyree, 38, said 'coming out now, I love you' on the phone to his mother at around midday on Friday and told police he agreed to surrender.
But when he emerged from his Staten Island home wearing a bullet proof vest and armed with an AK-47, he opened fire. A police officer returned fire, killing Tyree.
Tyree, who served time for a homicide at 16 years old, set his house on fire and shot a firefighter at 5.45am on Friday when US Marshals came to arrest him for violating parole.
Two of his bullets hit Lt James Hayes, 53, one in the leg and one in the buttocks. Hayes, a 30-year veteran who recovered victims during the 9/11 attacks, is in a stable condition in hospital.
By 8.30am the fire was under control and a hostage squad had made contact with Tyree, who remained barricaded inside.
He requested four loved ones including his Delaware-based mother, his girlfriend, his assistant, and another friend. He told detectives he would surrender if his mother came to the scene.

I love happy endings.
He wanted his mama to see him get shot to death in a fusillade of police bullets. A final way to show how much he hated her. Real charmer there.
Top of the world Ma, Top of the world!
He was such a good boy...prob just enrolling in college this fall.
I think that the most shocking thing here is that the head of the Bloods lives in Staten Island. I would’ve thought Brooklyn or maybe Queens.
The gangs are being treated well in jail, they are totally in control
He had an assistant?
Like, to help him pimp hoes?
Now mama can run around saying “baby dindu nuffins. He was turning his life around.”
The #BlackLivesMatter crowd won’t want to talk about this one.
“He requested four loved ones including his Delaware-based mother, his girlfriend, his assistant, and another friend.”
Assistant?!? Doubtful. My guess is this really means his mother, his girlfriend, and two baby mamas.
Best comment. I would guess many of the younger Freepers miss the reference.
White Heat?
