"Kishan Patel, 30, is home after over a year at a specialized care facility in Texas, and his family is optimistic about potential changes in police training under the new mayor."
"Patel's family is seeking to recover millions spent on medical expenses and is asking city leaders to apologize and acknowledge the harm caused by the police."
"Dan Gaughan, Patel's brother-in-law, expressed frustration, stating, 'No one has reached out to our family, or even acknowledged what happened.'"
"The family hopes their advocacy can spur change within the NYPD's handling of similar incidents and improve police training."
Kishan Patel was shot by an off-duty NYPD officer in May 2024, leaving him unable to walk or care for himself. His family has faced significant medical expenses and is pursuing a federal lawsuit against the city. They are advocating for changes in police training and seeking an apology from city leaders. With a new mayor in office, they are hopeful for a response. Despite their efforts, there has been no acknowledgment from the city or the NYPD regarding their situation or the need for police reform.
