Yonkers, NY: Miguel Espinal, 36, was shot and killed by NYPD officers in an incident that started with a traffic stop in the Bronx. Espinal fled the stop, prompting a police chase that ended in a wrong-way crash.
After the crash, Espinal left the vehicle and ran to the surrounding Tibbetts Brook Park, where police killed him.
Espinal's family said he ran from officers because he doesn't have a license. “Whether he ran from the cops or not, it doesn’t justify that he got shot. It doesn’t justify that,” Justin Juble, Espinal’s brother, said.
No officers have been charged with a crime for killing Miguel.
