On or about January 24, 2018, in response to a request by NYPD, Plaintiff voluntarily appeared at the police precinct. After voluntarily appearing at the precinct, Plaintiff was arrested at the instigation of Defendant Officer Cruzado. The arrest of Plaintiff was undertaken without a warrant and without probable cause to believe that Plaintiff had committed or was about to commit any crime. Defendant Officer Cruzado initiated a prosecution of Plaintiff in which Plaintiff was accused by Cruzado of various crimes in connection with the alleged December 15, 2017 robbery and shooting of Casas. Defendant Officer Cruzado authored and signed a Criminal Court Complaint in which he made sworn allegations that were untrue, including the allegation that Casas positively identified Plaintiff of having shot and robbed Casas. Defendant Officers Cruzado and Alexandros Kalogiros also fabricated evidence, including claims that Casas positively identified Plaintiff as his assailant, Casas positively identified Plaintiff in a photo array, and Casas identified Plaintiff in a lineup. Defendant Officers Cruzado and Kalogiros also ignored evidence that tended to exculpate Plaintiff, including initial statements by Casas that he neither recognized nor could identify his assailants, the existence of alibi witnesses who would have established Plaintiff's whereabouts at the time of the attack on Casas, and the existence of phone and GPS records that would have established Plaintiff's whereabouts at the time of the attack on Casas. Plaintiff was subjected to very high bail and was incarcerated for a period of fourteen months. On March 11, 2019, all criminal charges against Plaintiff were dismissed on the merits and the criminal proceeding terminated favorably to Plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240723233031/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=xiTF_PLUS_qhJHUVoKJ8UnSwZxg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Whittingham, Shamar, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-07-23","disposition_date":"2020-05-01","payout_amount":175000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"708939/2018","court":"Supreme Court - Queens","officer_name":"Kalogiros, Alexandros","summary":"On March 9, 2017 at 192nd St and 118th Rd, Queens, NY, one or more occupants of a motor vehicle drove up to a group of individuals and fired gun shots striking at least one of those individuals.
