Ramarley Graham, Shooting, New York 2012

Published May 13, 2015

The Bronx was rocked by a senseless act of violence on February 2, 2012, when 18-year-old Ramarley Graham was fatally shot by a police officer. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.

According to reports, Graham, an unarmed teenager, was shot and killed by an NYPD officer in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx. The officer's actions have been widely criticized as excessive and unjustified.

In response to the incident, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has announced that it will be reviewing all available evidence in the case, including evidence collected during the state's investigation.

"Consistent with our Office's practice in cases of this kind, we will review all of the available evidence with respect to the shooting of 18-year-old Ramarley Graham on February 2, 2012, in the Bronx, New York, including the evidence collected during the state's investigation, to determine whether there were any violations of the federal criminal civil rights laws," said Jerika Richardson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

The investigation into Graham's death has been ongoing for several years, with the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau and the Bronx District Attorney's Office conducting separate probes. However, it remains to be seen whether any charges will be filed in connection with the incident.

The Graham family has been vocal in their calls for justice, demanding that those responsible for the teenager's death be held accountable. As the investigation continues, the community remains on edge, waiting for answers and justice.

In a statement, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York emphasized its commitment to reviewing all available evidence in the case.
