New York Attorney General Letitia James’ Office of Special Investigations (OSI) released its report on Thursday on the death of Gary Dean Worthy, who was shot and killed in Jamaica during an encounter with NYPD officers on Nov. 19, 2024.
After a thorough investigation, which included review of footage from body-worn cameras and security cameras, interviews with involved officers and witnesses and comprehensive legal analysis, OSI concluded that a prosecutor would not be able to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial that the officer’s actions were justified under New York law.
According to the investigation, shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 19, police from the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica responded to multiple 911 calls reporting an armed robbery at a smoke shop at 92-18 Guy R. Brewer
