"Officer Devone had a lip gloss bottle in her right hand and an applicator in her left. There is no indication that she was unable to steer because of what was in her hand."
"Based on the law and evidence, OSI concludes a prosecutor would not be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Devone committed a crime."
An NYPD officer, Lavonje Devone, will not face criminal charges for fatally dragging Erasmo Huerta Gonzalez while distracted by lip gloss. Investigators found no evidence of criminal negligence despite her holding a lip gloss tube and applicator while driving. Witnesses reported her distraction, with one shouting for her to stop before the incident. However, the investigation concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Devone committed a crime, leading to the closure of the case.
