Death Of Adrian Cevallos: Investigation Opened In NYPD Killing Of “Emotionally Disturbed Person”
Photos: Screenshots NEW YORK – The following is a statement released by the New York Attorney General’s Office regarding the NYPD killing of an “emotionally disturbed person,” last August, in Queens: The New York Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation (OSI) has opened an investigation into the death of Adrian Cevallos, who died on August 3, 2024 following an encounter with members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) in Queens. The OSI was previously conducting a preliminary assessment of the matter but has opened an investigation following the receipt of new information. At approximately 8:36 p.m. on August 3, NYPD officers responded to 911 calls reporting what the NYPD refers to as an “emotionally disturbed person” on 62nd Street between 53rd Avenue and 53rd Drive in Queens. When officers arrived, they encountered Mr. Cevallos. Mr. Cevallos allegedly attempted to strike one of the officers, and the officers attempted to place him in handcuffs. During the struggle to handcuff Mr. Cevallos, one officer deployed his Taser. Mr. Cevallos became unresponsive and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Editor’s Note: Far from “serving and protecting” Black and Brown communities, white America’s racially prejudiced police are often instant executioners of our people. Mr. Cevallos’ family said he suffered from schizophrenia, and was having an episode when he was Tasered by an officer. Cevallos’ mother said she screamed at officers not to Taser her son because of his condition. After being Tasered, Cevallos apparently suffered a heart attack. Ultimately, this investigation will eventually find that the police were justified in this killing–as their usually are in all their other killings, and murders, of Black and Brown people.
