"NYPD Sergeant Faces Manslaughter Charges in Bronx Man's Death"
An NYPD sergeant pleaded not guilty to charges of killing a Bronx man during an attempted drug arrest. The officer, Erik Duran, was charged with second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and assault. Surveillance video shows Duran throwing a picnic cooler at Eric Duprey, who later died from injuries sustained in the incident. This marks the first time an NYPD officer has been indicted for killing someone while on duty since a 2021 law was passed. The officer's lawyer claims his actions were justified, while the victim's family and protesters have expressed outrage.
