Video surveillance footage clearly shows Plaintiff walking with a limp and into his home. On the same day, a few hours later after Plaintiff returned home, a 15-year-old was shot and killed. Video surveillance footage of the murder clearly shows two suspects running away, physically unimpeded. Plaintiff was home at the time of the shooting and video surveillance footage reflects that he did not leave his home. \n\nOn March 4, 2019, Defendant Captain Noema Ioffe in a public media statement stated that Plaintiff entered the 15-year-old's apartment on February 22, 2019 and shot him, causing his death. In this statement, Defendant Captain did not allege Plaintiff caused the 15-year-old's death or accuse Plaintiff of causing his death -- Defendant Captain Ioffe directly said Plaintiff caused his death. The next day, multiple new outlets, including the New York Times, ran stories about the killing and named Plaintiff in their stories as a result of Defendant Captain Ioffe's statement. \n\nIn the evening of March 4, 2019, Defendant Officer Nunez falsely arrested Plaintiff in Queens, while he was out walking with a noticeable limp. Defendant Officer John Doe 1 grabbed Plaintiff and violently threw him to the ground. Plaintiff told Defendant Officer John Doe 1 he was not resisting arrest, couldn't walk, and to just take him to the precinct. Defendant Officers John and Jane Does 1-20 picked Plaintiff off the ground and threw him into a metal gate, which knocked bricks off the wall. Defendant Officers laughed at Plaintiff and told him he would have to pay for the damaged bricks. \n\nUpon arrival at the precinct, Plaintiff was questioned for several hours by Defendant Detectives Erin Pignatelli and Davida Welch about his involvement in the shooting. Plaintiff showed Defendants his stab wound and that he could not possibly have run away. Defendants also possessed surveillance footage of Plaintiff at the time of his arrest but failed to review the footage. Defendants did not tell the grand jury that Plaintiff had been stabbed and was walking with a limp. Plaintiff's lawyer also provided Defendants with photograph and video evidence establishing Plaintiff's alibi. Nonetheless, Defendants continued prosecuting Plaintiff and kept him jailed for nine months on Rikers Island where he was attacked by other inmates and sprayed by chemical agents. \n\nUpon release from Rikers Island, Plaintiff was placed on how arrest for two more years despite Plaintiff continuously pleading his innocence. Plaintiff was forced to wear the ankle bracelet, causing a delay in proper medical treatment. On November 5, 2021, all charges were favorably dismissed against Plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.476277/gov.uscourts.nyed.476277.1.0_1.pdf","type":"complaint"}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/XKXP-meer-deen.jpg","id":"XKXP","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/XKXP"}
