If convicted, Mata faces a maximum sentence of up to 40 years to life in prison for each charge of attempted murder in the first degree, after shooting two NYPD officers.
Queens DA Katz expressed that an attempt on officers' lives during a routine traffic stop should concern every New Yorker as the 19-year-old homeless man faces serious charges.
Details revealed officers trying to detain Mata for riding a scooter in the wrong direction, who then resisted arrest and shot a police officer in the leg during the struggle.
