"Officer Guzman discharged his Glock 17 service weapon striking Nunez Reyes three times. EMS responded to the scene and rushed Nunez Reyes to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead."
"The chief medical examiner's office performed an autopsy and determined the cause of death was gunshot wounds to the torso and deemed his manner of death to be a homicide."
Following a thorough investigation, it was concluded that a prosecutor would struggle to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer's actions were unjustified. On April 20, 2024, NYPD officers responded to a disturbance where Nunez Reyes was holding a knife and refusing to comply with commands. After failed attempts to subdue him with Tasers, Officer Guzman shot Nunez Reyes three times as he approached other individuals. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide due to gunshot wounds.
