At 4:20 p.m. on January 13, 2016, [redacted] s [redacted] daughter [redacted] was hanging out in the playground of Elizabeth Blackwell Middle School in Queens with her friends [redacted] and [redacted]. They were approached by Sgt.

(Allegations A, B, and C). After providing their identifications, PO Cruz frisked [redacted] and [redacted] (Allegations D and E). An officer allegedly frisked and searched [redacted] (Allegations F and G). [redacted] alleged that she was frisked and searched at this time by Sgt.

After being released without being summonsed or arrested, [redacted] returned to Sgt. Demarco and asked him for his name, shield number, and command. Sgt. Demarco allegedly replied that he was "part of" the 102nd Precinct, but did not provide his name or shield number (Allegation K).
