NYPD: Police Shooting Of Unarmed Teen Was Unjustified

JANUARY 25TH, 2004

A deadly police shooting of an unarmed teenager in a Brooklyn housing complex early Saturday morning appears not to be justified, according to the NYPD’s preliminary investigation.

The Brooklyn district attorney’s office is now looking into the circumstances of the shooting of 19-year-old Timothy Standsbury in a stairway door leading to the roof of a building on Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

“At this point, based on the facts we have gathered, there appears to be no justification for this shooting,†Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.

At about 1 a.m., according to police, two uniformed officers on foot patrol were looking for trespassers on the roof of the Louis Armstrong Houses when they confronted Standsbury at a stairway door. A relative tells NY1 he was at a party nearby and was using the roof as a shortcut to cross over to his apartment to pick up some CDs.

“One officer held the door open while his partner looked inside,†Kelly said. “At that moment, it appears Mr. Standsbury was exiting the landing through the doorway, coming toward the officers. The officer peered into the doorway, firing one time, striking Mr. Standsbury in the chest.â€

The teen was pronounced dead at Woodhull Hospital.

According to the NYPD, the officer's partner says no words were exchanged before the shot was fired.

Angel Yulfo, a resident of the building, says he heard the whole incident clearly through an open window. “Never said, ‘Police,’ never said ‘Stop’ – nothing,†Yulfo said.

“Don't ask no questions, don't even say ‘freeze,’ ‘hold it,’ ‘wait a minute’ or ‘stop?’†said the teen’s father, Timothy Standbury Sr. “He's just going to shoot the gun? That's not right.â€

The officer who fired the shot is an 11-year veteran of the NYPD's Housing Bureau. He has been placed on modified duty, and his weapons and shield have been taken away, pending the outcome of the investigation.

At the D.A.’s request, NYPD investigators have not interviewed the officer, so the case is not jeopardized before a grand jury.

“He doesn’t deserve to die like that,†said the grandmother, whom Standbury lived with. “And I want justice done, I want justice done. If he was a bad boy, I wouldn't be here. But I want justice done.â€

In a sad twist of fate, Standsbury's own mother works for the NYPD, as a school crossing guard. “I'm protecting other people's kids, and I wanted the same for mine,†said his mother, Phyllis Clayburne. “I want justice.â€

Standbury had a job at a nearby McDonald’s as he worked towards a degree, friends and family members said.

“He just got his life on track, and all of a sudden something like this happens,†said local resident Deidre Bennett. “It's terrible.â€

As the police began their investigation, Eric Adams, the head of the group 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement, met with Standsbury's family. He said the shooting should prompt department-wide changes:

“Terrorist protection is being used to terrorize communities of color, so it's more than just this shooting we're looking at,†Adams said. “If they believe just acknowledging this one shooting is going to be the end of this, that's not what what's going to take place here.â€

The shooting also had residents asking what the NYPD is prepared to do to ensure something like this doesn't happen again:

“There needs to be a sit-down among some of the community-based organizations, and when I say sit down I mean things have to change, bottom line,†said local resident Jamella God.

The 79th Precinct stationhouse is just around the corner from the Louis Armstrong Houses, but residents say there isn't a lot of trust between them and the police.

“They always run into this block as soon as they hear anything; they just consider this a bad block anyway,†said Arnold Tuss, who lives at the complex.

“I think they’re just too gun happy,†said another resident, Donna Ellison. “That's really what I think. Since they got guns, they don't know how to act.â€

The police commissioner promised to take action.

“This is a tragic incident that compels us to take an in-depth look at our tactics and training, both for new and veteran officers,†Kelly said.

I bet you think what that pig did to that black guy is justified simply because he was black, don't you. I hope that pig gets capped. Pigs like him are a disgrace to the badge.

Oh, the mother of that boy who was murdered by that pig so happens to be a traffic cop and wants justice on that piece of garbage. If that oinker doesn't get justice by the court, I hope that pig gets justice by the bullet. :blown:
