Gary Worthy NYPD Death, New York NY, 2024

New York – In a move aimed at enhancing transparency, New York Attorney General Letitia James has today released security camera footage from the investigation into the death of Gary Worthy. Worthy, who died on November 19, 2024, following an encounter with NYPD officers in Queens, has become the focal point of this grim inquiry.

The incident began with a 911 call reporting a robbery. Upon arrival at the scene, officers identified Worthy as the suspect. A shootout ensued, resulting in Worthy’s death and non-life-threatening injuries to one officer who was later released from hospital care.

Footage obtained by the Office of Special Investigation (OSI) was made public by Attorney General James, reflecting her commitment to openness in these matters. The OSI is mandated under New York State Executive Law Section 70-b to evaluate incidents where police officers may have caused a death and to conduct thorough investigations accordingly.

It’s important to note that the release of this footage does not imply any opinion on guilt or innocence, nor does it suggest any charges against an individual. The content is graphic and may be disturbing for some viewers.

This case has sparked a renewed dialogue about police actions and accountability. As the investigation continues, public attention remains focused on the events that led to Worthy’s death.
