The driver was an off-duty NYPD officer, Wayne Issacs. When both cars stopped next to each other at a traffic light, the deceased got out of his car and approached Issacs's car. Issacs rolled down his window, pulled out a gun, and shot the deceased three times with his NYPD-required firearm. The plaintiffs were approximately seven feet away, and watched unobstructed as Issacs shot the deceased. Issacs did not attend to the deceased after shooting him, calling a Police Benevolent Association representative before calling 911. EMTS and additional NYPD officers then arrived. These officers intentionally prevented plaintiffs from aiding and comforting the deceased as he lay dying. These officers took plaintiffs to the precinct and conducted interrogations outside the presence of a lawyer and, for a minor plaintiff, outside the presence of her mother and a lawyer. NYPD sources later provided false statements to the media to cover up Issacs's misconduct, alleging that the deceased had attacked him before the shooting.\n\nOn July 8, 2016, the New York Post obtained and released a surveillance video that showed Issacs shooting immediately after the deceased approached his vehicle, contrary to the NYPD's account. The surveillance video is the reason why the NYPD's false narrative was exposed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.403884/gov.uscourts.nyed.403884.114.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/7258960/small-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Kneitel, Michael J. vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2016-09-06","disposition_date":"2025-09-24","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"15CV06942","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"Plaintiff was taken into custody at the 66th Precinct regarding an alleged assault against his neighbor, arraigned, and RORed with an order of protection.
