Trevor Perez was present at the shooting and was unlawfully handcuffed and imprisoned shortly thereafter despite not being involved in the shooting. NYPD Detective Freed and an unidentified NYPD Officer coerced a confession from Perez by forcing him to sign a dictated statement on a photograph of Plaintiff identifying Plaintiff as the gunman. Detective Freed then colluded with Officer Seminara to have Seminara identify Plaintiff as the gunman given the illegality involved in procuring Perez's confession. Plaintiff voluntarily went to the 67th precinct where he was falsely imprisoned and interrogated by Detective Freed. Despite ample evidence that Plaintiff was not present at the location of the shooting, Detective Freed orchestrated a sham lineup and conspired with Officers Ortlieb, Henderson, and Seminara to have them maliciously identify Plaintiff as the gunman. The defendants then maliciously initiated a prosecution based on false statements and manufactured evidence. All false charges were dismissed on December 21, 2010.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919915-Rhooms-v-Enright-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.346721/gov.uscourts.nyed.346721.41.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6153518/rhooms-v-enright/"},{"name":"Raynell MCQUEEN v.
