A Bronx family and their Wakefield community is outraged today, at the brutal killing of one of their citizens Ramarley Graham, who was gunned down in his apartment.
According to channel 11 news (PIX11), It was the NYPD who was on the run, chasing after Ramarley Graham, 18, who — seconds earlier — casually closed the door behind him as he entered his home. The surveillance video is dramatic and telling. It is also out. The family released it Saturday afternoon, approximately 48 hours after the shooting.
Watch the video here:
The video clearly shows Graham walking into his home on East 229th Street in the Bronx Thursday, shortly after 3:00p.m. The NYPD then jumps into the screen seconds later. Two officers rush toward the door, with one trying to kick down a locked door. He had no search warrant. Seconds later another officer holds up his gun and aims it at one of the residents who — coincidentally — was on the side of the home. A total of four officers are seen on the video.
A journalist from channel PIX11, spoke to one resident who, was cooking during the forced entry and said that the NYPD did not identify themselves “…they did not scream police.”
Moments later, landlord Paulette Minzie heard, “boom, boom” while in her third floor bathroom. It was the sound of gunshots. The NYPD then went into her home, put a gun in her face, and searched her room for a gun. They found nothing.
According to Eyewitness News Ramarley grandmother and other family member who witness the brutal shooting, were question by the NYPD intensely for hours. The family is demanding a full investigation into the death of their son.
Seeing on this video below, an outraged community speak out and is demanding justice for Ramarley Graham.
