LI salon where NYPD cop, three others were killed by drunk driver is now a community memorial

New Yorkers have turned a Long Island nail salon where a newlywed NYPD cop and three others were mowed down Friday into a community memorial — as new details emerge about the accused drunk driver charged with their senseless deaths.Steven Schwally, 74, already had at least one drunken driving conviction on his record following an arrest on March 25, 2013 — but pled guilty and got a slap-on-the-wrist three-year probation.

He also had an arrest in 2001 but details of that case were not immediately available.Meanwhile, neighbors and strangers alike have flocked to Hawaii Nail & Spa in Deer Park where Schwally is now accused of plowing into the building and leaving a trail of death.

On Sunday, rows of flowers and candles piled up outside the boarded-up storefront in memory of off-duty NYPD Police Officer Emilia Rennhack and three others who were killed in the tragic afternoon crash — Jiancai Chen, 37, Yan Xu, 41 and Meizi Zhang, 50.Nine others were injured, including a 12-year-old girl, when cops said Schwally plowed his SUV into the small shop.He has been charged with drunk driving and is expected to face other charges.Rennhack, 30, who married fellow NYPD cop Carl Rennhack in September, was having her nails done in anticipation of a friend’s wedding that night, according to sources.

“Emilia was a great cop and an even better person,” one cop told The Post.“She always went the extra mile to help cops and everyday people that she came across.“‘No’ wasn’t in her vocabulary,” the officer said.

Born Emilia Kowalczyk, the young cop graduated from International High School in Prospect Heights and went on to attend the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where she played soccer for the school’s Bloodhounds sports teams.She joined New York’s Finest in 2018 and was most recently assigned to the 102nd Precinct in Queens.She married Det.
