Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old who was killed by NYPD officers in 2013 after allegedly pointing a gun at them, is back in the news. It’s worth remembering, when considering Gray’s case, that cops in the precinct where he died have a history of allegedly fudging with gun evidence.

The NYPD officers who shot 16-year-old Kimani Gray seven times last weekend have a long history of lawsuits alleging civil rights abuses and have cost New York City over $215,000 in settlements. Sgt. Mourad Mourad and Officer Jovaniel Cordova, who have now been identified as the officers who shot Gray, have had a total of five lawsuits brought against the two of them, including suits stemming from wrongful arrest and illegal stop and frisks.

Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old who was killed in Brooklyn on Saturday night by two plainclothes police officers, was shot seven times: four in the front, three in the back. An autopsy report from the Chief Medical Examiner didn't say which bullets hit first, or which killed Gray; it's unclear, therefore, whether he was shot while facing the officers—as they claim—and then turned, or was first shot while his back was turned to them.

Saturday night, undercover NYPD officers opened fire on and killed Kimani Gray, a 16-year-old resident of East Flatbush, Brooklyn. While reports of what exactly happened vary, the NYPD said the plainclothes officers approached a group of men at 11:30 pm, at which point Gray split from the group and reached for his belt in a "suspicious manner." After police reportedly asked to see his hands, the two officers said Gray turned and pointed a .38 pistol at them. The officers then fired 11 rounds at Gray, striking him several times. Gray was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The .38 recovered at the scene was never fired.
