"Body-cam footage from Officer Alexander Campos - one of the two officers who fired at Emile - shows the cop arriving at the intersection of E. 52nd St. and Church Ave. around 1 a.m. and getting out of a marked police car. Campos' fellow officers, Sgt. Kyle Sforza and Officer Brian Mejia-Morel, who were already on the scene, confronted Emile and chased him. Campos was holding a gun as Emile fled."
"The video shows Campos deploy his Taser as three shots ring out in the background. The stun gun hit Emile, and he stumbled but got back up and keeps running, as both Campos and Mejia-Morel opened fire, bringing Emile to the ground, the video shows. Just before the confrontation, Emile was seen pacing between cars and arguing with at least one other person, a gun in his hand."
Attorney General Letitia James announced that she will not seek charges against two officers who shot a fleeing, armed man in East Flatbush on May 12, 2024, because her office concluded a prosecutor could not disprove a justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt. Investigators met with the man's family, informing them of the decision. Family members expressed deep disappointment and accused the police of avoiding accountability. Body-camera footage shows Officer Alexander Campos arriving at the scene, fellow officers confronting and chasing Christin Emile, and Campos holding a gun as Emile fled. The video shows a Taser deployed, Emile stumbling, and officers subsequently firing, bringing him to the ground.
