A police officer shot and killed an innocent convenience store employee who ran into him on a sidewalk while frantically fleeing an armed robbery early Friday, an encounter that the police department called a tragic accident.
Three men taken into custody at the shop after the shooting were ultimately charged with the murder, robbery and weapons possession, prosecutors said.
Dramatic security video released by police shows the uniformed officer with his gun drawn, positioned outside the Bronx shop’s front door moments after a 911 call. Then the store manager rushes out the door. Closely behind with his head down is Renaldo Cuevas, who runs full speed into the officer, sending both men tumbling to the sidewalk.
A pool of blood appears to form on the ground the instant Cuevas lands on his back. The officer is kneeling and pointing his semiautomatic at Cuevas when the video clip ends.
