From [HERE] The family of the bodega worker killed by a police bullet met with the Bronx district attorney on Sunday to request that a grand jury investigate the actions of the police officer who fired the fatal shot on Friday, representatives for the family said. The district attorney, Robert T. Johnson, made “no commitments” beyond a pledge to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting by the police of Reynaldo Cuevas, a 20-year-old bodega worker, according to a family spokesman, Fernando Mateo, who accompanied the family into the meeting.

The police, citing surveillance footage of the episode, have said the shooting outside Aneury’s Deli was accidental. Police officials have said that the officer’s gun discharged when the officer became entangled with Mr. Cuevas. The two collided, the police said, directly outside the bodega as Mr. Cuevas fled from robbers still inside.

But at a news conference Sunday outside the district attorney’s office, Mr. Mateo said that Mr. Cuevas’s relatives believed that the single fatal shot was fired after the collision, while the police officer was kneeling over Mr. Cuevas. “We believe that he was murdered,” Mr. Mateo, a spokesman for the Bodega Association of the United States, told reporters.
