Description
On October 20, ConEd mechanic Koran Irvine was fatally shot by retired NYPD detective Victor Romero, who claimed the 46-year-old father was swerving into his lane, prompting him to fire his weapon at Irvine's rear window amid moving traffic. After one week of tireless advocacy from Irvine's loved ones, a grand jury indicted Romero on second-degree murder charges - an upgrade from a manslaughter charge he previously received. He was granted bail and remains free. Status Coup's @JonFarinaPhoto documents a rally by Irvine's family and friends in Lower Manhattan following Romero's indictment.
