OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 2, 2025, a 28-year-old man was shot and killed by police officers in Brooklyn after a police chase for an allegedly stolen Porsche. The NYPD's Community Response Team was searching for stolen vehicles when they identified the Porsche as suspicious and attempted to pull it over. The driver fled on the Belt Parkway, and officers set up roadblocks to intercept the car. The driver swerved off the road toward officers and the roadblock, nearly hitting an officer. In response, the officer fired a single shot.
The man was pulled from the car and taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he later died. At least one passenger in the stolen vehicle was taken into custody, though charges have not been filed.
