On July 4, 2016, Isaacs was driving home from his shift when he allegedly cut off Small, 37, on Atlantic Avenue in East New York. Both vehicles stopped at a red light at Bradford Street. Police say Small exited his car - where his girlfriend, her 14-year-old daughter and the couple's infant sat - walked across traffic lanes and approached Isaacs' driver-side window. Video shows Isaacs shot Small three times within two seconds of Small reaching his window.
State Police fired Proctor in March following a lengthy suspension and internal affairs probe that delved into the now-infamous texts he sent friends, family, and coworkers about the case. In those texts, Proctor called Read a "wack job c**t" and "retarded," made vulgar remarks about her health and appearance, joked about searching for nude photos on her cellphone, and said he hoped Read would kill herself.
