Akai Gurley
[From article]
The girlfriend, Melissa Butler, 26, said the officers didn’t utter a single word before Liang blasted Gurley.
“They didn’t present themselves or nothing and shot him,” Butler told DNAinfo New York. “As soon as he came in, the police opened the [door to the] eighth-floor staircase. They didn’t identify themselves at all. They just shot.”
[. . .]
An NYPD spokesman said there was no weapon recovered from the scene. A neighbor on the eighth floor, Angela Tucker, said a light in that section of the stairwell has been out for three weeks and “with that door closed, you can’t even see in the staircase.”
A maintenance man was seen fixing the light on Friday morning.
Gurley was rushed to Brookdale Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival, authorities said. The victim has been arrested 24 times and has done time behind bars, sources said.
