A Nassau County woman has filed a lawsuit against New York City and the NYPD, claiming negligence in securing the West Indian Day Parade, where her child was shot. It argues that the city should have anticipated violence due to past incidents. The event, attracting hundreds of thousands, has seen escalating violence, prompting increased law enforcement measures. Following last year's shooting, Mayor Eric Adams defended police actions, indicating that one gunman was to blame. No arrests have been made in relation to the shooting and responses from involved parties have been limited.
The NYPD and city failed to secure the West Indian Day Parade properly, which the lawsuit claims led to a shooting and injuries at the event.
Despite the shooting last year, Mayor Adams defended the police response, attributing the violence to a single gunman rather than systemic security failures.
