On May 31, supporters gathered at Austin’s Ale House for a fundraiser for a memorial foundation named after New York City Police Department Det. Brian Simonsen, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this year.
The fundraiser, which was promoted by the Detectives’ Endowment Association as a way to support the Simonsen family, featured live music by a group called “Austin’s Power.” Performing in the band, according to sources with direct knowledge of the event, was Queens Supreme Court Justice Steven Paynter.
