Further details on conclusions.
On November 19, 2016, [redacted] stopped at a friend's residence and left his white Chevrolet Venture van double-parked on Stanley Avenue in Brooklyn. [redacted] left his wife, [redacted] in the passenger's seat. [redacted] remained away from the vehicle for about 20 minutes.
[redacted] returned to his vehicle at about 12:30 a.m. and drove away. PO Matthew Demaio and PO Ramil Casimir, of the 75th Precinct Anti-Crime Team, initiated a stop of [redacted] vehicle in the vicinity of [redacted] in Brooklyn. [redacted] did not immediately stop; rather, he continued driving for about 300 feet before pulling into a NYCHA parking lot.
