OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On March 6, 2025, at approximately 5:20 a.m., NYPD officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man with a gun in the parking lot of a Home Depot on Veterans Road West in Staten Island, New York. Upon arrival, officers observed a 55-year-old man sitting in a black Jeep Wrangler, firing shots into the air. The officers took tactical positions and repeatedly instructed the man to show his hands and drop the firearm. The man did not comply and instead pointed the firearm at the officers, prompting five officers to discharge their weapons, striking him multiple times. The man was transported to Staten Island University North Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolver, along with numerous shell casings and live ammunition, was recovered at the scene. The incident is under investigation by the NYPD's Force Investigation Division.
