Prosecutors revealed a chilling self-portrait yesterday — one that accused cop killer Lamont Pride snapped days before the botched robbery of a pot dealer that led to the death of decorated Brooklyn Officer Peter Figoski.
Pride, 28, and accused getaway driver Michael Velez are on trial for murder in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
The photo — downloaded from Pride’s phone by NYPD investigators the day that Figoski, 47, was gunned down in December 2011 — shows Pride wearing what appears to be the same black mask and jacket he wore during the robbery.
Prosecutors also showed jurors cellphone records of the calls Pride and Velez allegedly made to one another the night of the robbery.
Fellow alleged robber Nelson Morales called Velez about 90 minutes before the crime, according to records introduced by Metro PCS and Sprint Nextel employees.
Morales’ cellphone was registered in the name of “Tito Puente” and Velez registered his phone in the name of “Trouble T. Trouble.”
Prosecutors have said that Velez — who was outside the basement apartment — made several attempts to call and warn Pride and the thugs inside the East New York home that cops were arriving.
The records also show Velez — who briefly escaped — calling City Line Car Service for a pickup shortly after the shooting.
Figoski’s four daughters stayed yesterday to hear gruesome testimony on their father’s autopsy, even after the judge suggested they spare themselves.
“If there are any family members here today, I would strongly urge you not be in the courtroom for this testimony,” cautioned Judge Alan Marrus.
“It’s up to you, but I can tell you it’s probably not a good idea to be here for this,” he added.
Eldest daughter Christine, 21, nodded acknowledgment, but the four siblings stayed.
“He had an entrance gunshot wound on his left cheek . . . The bullet continued through the bones in the base of the skull,” said Medical Examiner Melissa Pasquale-Styles. “The bullet exited the back of the head near the neck.”
The trial continues today.
