A judge found an NYPD sergeant guilty of manslaughter for killing Bronx man with a cooler.<\/p>\n
NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran was found guilty of manslaughter and not guilty of criminally negligent homicide by a judge on Friday.<\/p>\n
\tDuran was on trial for the death of Eric Duprey during a botched drug bust in Kingsbridge Heights back in August 2023.<\/p>\n
The manslaughter charge carries a maximum sentence of five to 15 years in prison. Criminally negligent homicide carries a maximum sentence of 1-1\/3 to four years in prison.<\/p>\n
He is set to be sentenced on March 19.<\/p>\n
\tThe incident was caught on surveillance video. It showed Duran, in plain clothes, throwing a cooler at Duprey as he tried to get away on a motorbike. <\/p>\n
Duprey was knocked off and killed.<\/p>\n
Duprey’s family says he died an “unfair death,” and leaders of Black Lives Matter Greater New York claim that the entire narcotics operation was for another person.<\/p>\n
