NRPD Determine Officers Did Not Violate Dept’s Policies Or Procedures In Death of Jerrel Garris

Date:

NRPD Commissioner Robert Gazzola released a statement, Friday (see below) that the NRPD found none of the officers involved in the July 3, 2023 killing of Jerrel Garris violated the department’s policies or procedures.

Three New Rochelle cops who were placed on paid administrative leave — identified as Kari Bird, Gabrielle Chavarry, and Detective Steven Conn — confronted Jarrell Garris, 37, at a grocery store on July 3. Detective Conn fired one round, which hit Garris in the neck and impacted his cervical spine and spinal cord, the Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office said July 12. Garris remained in a coma and was taken off life support on July 10. His death was ruled a homicide and was investigated by the NYS Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation which found 14 months later that the officers had legal justification for their actions on September 18, 2024.
