BROOKLYN - A teenager is dead after police say he tried to carjack a retired cop in East New York.
The incident was caught on surveillance at a gas station on Georgia and Linden avenues. The station manager saw the video and says you can see two young men walk up to the back of a car and point a gun at the driver's head.
According to authorities, the driver is a retired officer who now works as a security guard nearby. They say he was armed and fired his weapon, fatally hitting 18-year-old Manuel Ocampo in the head. The other suspect was taken into custody, where he is being questioned by police.
The retired officer was transported to Kings County Hospital with difficulty breathing.
Ocampo's family, who lives in Coney Island, is distraught over his death. Loved ones have set up a memorial with candles and a picture of the teen. Although he is being accused in the carjacking, Ocampo's family is defending him and saying he was a good kid.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made. They have not yet released the names of anyone else involved.
If this was the New Nassau County, the charges would be dropped on the second suspect and the retired officer would be investigated...

Which begs the question, what is this family's definition of a bad kid?

Regardless of what he was before, he's a good kid now.

But for the gun jamming, Mr Bishop would be dead.

Which is why when the range tells us to keep our guns clean and oiled we should listen. Good thing the perps know little about maintenance.

Can't compare shooting someone in Bk to someone in Nassau. I'll roll the dice in Nassau anyday over any Boro. It's all about the jury pool

The Nassau jury pool may be better than the 5 boro's but when the case is tainted by a job that no longer backs its officers, a DA that drops charges and a biased media that controls the only newspaper outlet on the island....those odds aren't as good as they were a decade ago...

I agree, The DA and the media are locked and loaded and waiting for the sun to rise on opening day. |
