Accused cop killer Guy Rivera will face a sea of blue as his trial gets underway later this morning.

Opening statements are set in the case in Queens Criminal Court in Kew Gardens.

Before the case begins, the Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York will address reporters, then file into the courtroom.

Last week, jury selection got underway.

Rivera is accused of fatally shooting Massapequa Park native, New York Police Detective Jonathan Diller, 31, on March 25, 2024.

According to investigators, Diller and other officers were conducting a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens, just before 6 p.m. Prosecutors said they believed the two men in the car may have had a weapon on them and were planning to rob a nearby cell phone store.

Investigators said Rivera didn't comply and then shot Diller multiple times in the stomach. Prosecutors said Rivera tried to shoot another officer, but his gun jammed, before another officer shot Rivera.

Diller was rushed to the hospital, where he died.

Rivera has been charged with murder, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. He faces life in prison if convicted.

The driver of the car involved, Lindy Jones, was charged with weapons possession.

Both men have extensive criminal records, prosecutors said.

Diller was buried on Long Island and left behind a wife and young son.
