Police say Jose Borbon, 23, was driving drunk early Sunday morning when he slammed into 2nd Precinct Officer Glen Ciano's cruiser at around 4:15 a.m. The cruiser burst into flames, burning it beyond recognition with the 45-year-old officer trapped inside. He was killed.

Ciano, a 22-year veteran of the force, was heading to assist a fellow officer when the crash occurred at the corner of Vanderbilt Parkway and Commack Road.

Prosecutors say the charges may be upgraded to homicide after their investigation has been completed.

Ciano leaves behind a wife and two children.
