Jersey City Police Officers Hazecamp and Wolfe Pulled Bobby Over, Allegedly for Running a Stop Sign Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement NEW JERSEY Bobby Rodriguez 24 — July 19, 1995. Jersey City: Jersey City police officers Hazecamp and Wolfe pulled Bobby over, allegedly for running a stop sign. Police claim that the unarmed Rodriguez then jumped out of his van and ran into a vacant lot. The officers gave chase. Wolfe said he scuffled with Rodriguez and lost control of his weapon. Wolfe’s gun went off three times. Hazecamp then shot Bobby four times, and he died on the spot. The two cops each suffered a minor wound. Witnesses contradicted the police account. Several people who ran to the vacant lot when they heard the shots arrived to see Bobby lying face down in a pool of blood, with the cops removing handcuffs from behind his back. The cops deny this, but cannot explain why he would have fled and braved police gunfire over a traffic violation. As it turned out, Bobby had been driving home to pick up his companion to take him to work. His companion was Jose Torres, the prisoner being transported in the back of Chiusolo’s car the night that Maximino Cintron was killed. Jose Torres told the press that ever since he testified to the grand jury in 1991, Jersey City police had continually harassed him and Bobby Rodriguez. Julio Tarquino 22 Bolivian May 7, 1995. Jersey City: Julio, his fiancée, and a friend went to a gas station convenience store to buy some food around 3:30 a.m. Two white men began taunting and insulting them and Julio and his friends headed to their car to leave. As they were leaving, Officer John Chiusolo (who killed Maximino Cintron four years earlier) drove up. He was off-duty and out of uniform. He handcuffed Julio and beat him to the ground, kicking him repeatedly in the head. Julio’s finacée attempted to reason with Chiusolo and was also beaten. Julio was arrested for assaulting an officer, then taken to Christ Hospital in Jersey City and treated. He was released back into police custody at 6:30 a.m. “coherent and even joking,” according to hospital personnel. Six hours later, Julio was returned to jail - a time lapse that has never been accounted for. Fifteen minutes later, he was found slumped over in his cell, convulsing. He died on May 11 of skull fractures. Julio was a housepainter and a contractor, a good-natured and hardworking person, engaged to be married. Community protests followed, and another man, German Barrantes, came forward so say that Chiusolo had beaten him at a traffic stop a few days before the murder of Julio Tarquino. In September, 1995, Chiusolo was indicted for second-degree manslaughter. As of September, 1997, he remains free on bail with no trial date set. Khary Grimes 18 — between September 1994 & July 1995. Jersey City: Khary was killed by police who claim he stole a car and threatened an officer with a b.b. gun. No witnesses other than the police were present.

No witnesses other than the police were present. Source: Revolutionary Worker, Fall, 1997 Armando Lopez — — June 12, 1994. Jersey City: Armando was found hanging in his cell while in custody of the Jersey City police. 227 Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement NEW JERSEY Maximino Cintron 23 Puerto Rican July 16, 1991. Jersey City: Maximino was tinting the windows of a friend’s car in the early evening. Two plainclothes cops transporting a prisoner (Jose Torres) to jail stopped to write Maximino a ticket for “illegally repairing a car in the street.” Maximino took the ticket, said he’d “put it with the rest of his collection,” tore it up, and threw it on his windshield. Police claim he threw the ticket at them and then 20 people attacked them, but witnesses contradict this account. Officer John Chiusolo became enraged, attacked Maximino, and put him in a headlock. Maximino struggled out and the two stood facing each other. Chiusolo pulled his gun, and Maximino began backing up, saying “All right, all right, what are you going to do, shoot me?” Chiusolo fired into Maximino’s upper abdomen, severing his aorta. While he bled to death in the street, the first ambulance on the scene transported Chiusolo and his partner to the hospital for treatment of bruises. Maximino left behind his wife, Maria, and their 1-year-old son, “Little Max.” Community protests followed, including a march of over 400 people. Information about Officer Chiusolo’s background started to come out. At the time, Chiusolo was facing numerous brutality complaints and a civil action for assault. Officer Chiusolo, however, remained on the force, and four years later, he arrested and assaulted a man who died in custody. Phillip Pannell 15 Black April 10, 1990. Teaneck: Phillip was chased by a white Teaneck officer. Police reported that the officer fired one shot that missed Phillip while he was attempting to climb over a fence, and that Phillip turned and ran toward the officer. One grand jury absolved the officer of any criminal wrongdoing. A second grand jury indicted him when it was discovered - after lining up the bullet hole in the youth’s jacket with the entry wound from the second shot fired - that Phillip was shot in the back and killed while his arms were raised. According to witnesses, Phillip never got the chance to turn and face the officer, but was shot while attempting to surrender. At the officer’s second trial, an all-white jury deliberated for a little over 8 hours before returning a verdict of not guilty. NEW MEXICO Name Age Nationality Photo Abelino Montoya 18 — February 14, 1998. Las Vegas, NM: Mr. Montoya, a high-school honors student, was shot and killed by Las Vagas Police Sgt. Steve Marquez and Officer Joseph Mantelli after they followed him in his truck into a dead-end street. The officers claim they saw him driving the wrong way on a one-way street, lost him, and then saw him later that night. They say they opened fire only after Mr. Montoya backed into their patrol car and refused orders to get out of the truck. Officer Mantelli fired 3 times, hitting the victim once in the head and once in the torso, with the 3rd bullet striking the truck. Sgt. Marquez fired once and hit the truck. A toxicology test supposedly showed that Abelino Montoya was legally drunk. Both cops were charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, and several lesser charges, but were allowed to remain free on unsecured bond of $50,000 for Marquez and $100,000 for Mantelli. That same night, Officer Mantelli assaulted another allegedly drunk driver, Gene Gonzales, in an unrelated incident and put a gun to the un-resisting man’s head. Mr. Montoya’s family filed notice of their intention to file a civil suit against the city of Las Vegas and its police department. Source: Albuquerque Journal, 10/23/98 Tommy Martinez 34 Latino (?) September 9, 1996. Albuquerque (Menaul & Wyoming): Tommy allegedly robbed the Village Inn with an 8-10” knife around 1:30 a.m. Police chased him one block where he supposedly charged at an officer who was 10-12 feet away. Officers Jeffrey Stone and Brian Dennison fired a total of six shots, hitting Tommy three times and killing him.

Albuquerque (1200 Polomas SE): Cops arrested Orlando at the residence of a friend on a misdemeanor warrant. He died in the back seat of the patrol car while being hog-tied. Police were responding to a call about a loud party. The medical examiner called in accidental death by asphyxiation. The Albuquerque Police Department said it would stop hog-tying people following this incident. Source: Vecinos United (Albuquerque, NM) Larry Harper 33 white October 14, 1995. Albuquerque (Elena Gallegos picnic area): Larry’s family sought help because he was threatening suicide. He ran away from police prior to the incident but asked to speak to his family. Cops would not allow this. When Larry allegedly pointed a gun at the SWAT team officers who had surrounded him, he was shot and killed. He was hit twice, once after he was down. He died on the scene, around 2 a.m. A grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing by police. Source: Vecinos United (Albuquerque, NM) Richard Lee Nicholds 41 white September 16, 1995. Albuquerque (2200 block of Garfield SE): Richard allegedly cocked and pointed a gun at a police officer. He was six feet inside his apartment when the cop fired through the screen door. Richard supposedly went for the gun again after he was down, at which point he was shot and killed by Albuquerque Police Officer John Bode. Richard was hit several times in the chest and abdomen. The incident happened around 4 p.m. Witnesses said that the police did not announce themselves or tell Richard to drop the gun before killing him. The cops initially denied this, but were reported to have later changed their stories. A grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing by police.

Albuquerque (200 Espanola NE): Russell was shot four times, once in the head, and killed by Albuquerque police officers who were responding to a report of a possible stolen vehicle.

    November 4, 2020 NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson City Hall New York, NY 10007 Re: OneNYC 2020 Progress Report Dear Speaker Johnson: This past April, while New York City was deeply involved in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the difficult but necessary decision to delay the release of the OneNYC 2020 Progress Report. Since the impacts of the health crisis continue to be felt and the resulting economic crisis is still ongoing, we have focused this report on the progress of OneNYC initiatives from April 2019 to April 2020. I am pleased to submit the OneNYC 2020 Progress Report to you today, fulfilling our obligation under Local Law 84 of 2013. We remain committed to the principles and goals set forth under OneNYC 2050, the City’s long-term strategic plan and Green New Deal, including confronting our climate crisis, addressing health and wealth inequities, and strengthening our democracy. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has painfully illustrated that the fight to end the tale of two cities is far from over. Although the health crisis has brought many challenges for everyone, the harm from COVID-19 has been disproportionately borne by poor New Yorkers and New Yorkers of color. The Black Lives Matter social justice movement has also had profound impacts on our city in recent months, bringing even more awareness and scrutiny to the entrenched issue of racial inequality that we continue to face. In addition to these challenges, the resulting economic situation is compounding the crisis facing our city and it is clear that without significant federal support, there will be unavoidable impacts to the City’s budget and services and the longer-term commitments included in OneNYC.
