Unclear whether gun went off during or after collision. Witness said Police Shot him after [MORE ]
From [HERE ] The heartbroken mother of a bodega worker accidentally killed by a Bronx cop said yesterday she’s furious with the NYPD — and claimed police Commissioner Ray Kelly admitted fault in the tragedy.
“He escaped death inside, and they killed him outside,” a weeping Ana Cuevas said outside her Eastchester building a day after her son, Reynaldo Cuevas, 20, was fatally shot while fleeing an alleged stickup at the store. “His death could have been avoided. I want justice. The police are at fault.” “He said it was his fault,” she said in Spanish.
She said Kelly’s admission did not soothe her pain. “I feel dead. It’s like they killed me,” she said.
The NYPD could not confirm Kelly’s comments yesterday. The commissioner told reporters that Reynaldo’s death was an accident. He said the housing cop — identified by sources as Officer Ramysh Bangali — had his gun drawn when Cuevas ran into him while fleeing the bodega.
