Relatives of Allan Feliz marched to City Hall, urging Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to fire the officer who fatally shot Feliz during a 2019 traffic stop. The Civilian Complaint Review Board submitted a recommendation to Tisch regarding the officer's continued employment. Diverse civil rights advocates supported the family, advocating for accountability. Despite earlier findings that indicated excessive force, Tisch suggested the shooting was justified in her preliminary decision. The family's representatives denounced her decision as arbitrary and abusive of discretion, calling for a reassessment of the case and justice for Feliz.
The CCRB confirmed it submitted its final recommendation on the issue to Tisch but said that as it is still an ongoing case, we can't release the response.
Feliz's family gathered outside NYPD headquarters Friday to demand she reverse course.
On July 3, Tisch indicated in a letter to the CCRB that she believed the shooting was justified and that she intended to reject the recommendation of Maldonado.
The civil rights groups called Tisch's preliminary decision arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion.
