The incident occurred on April 29 when police pursued Wright on the Belt Parkway. Reports indicate he nearly crashed into officers setting up a blockade, leading one officer to shoot him. Wright was later pronounced dead at the hospital, and OSI will evaluate whether the shooting was justified under state law regarding police use of deadly force.
The investigation will assess the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of Jumaane Wright during a police pursuit of a stolen vehicle in New York.
