Ex-NYPD Sergeant Sentenced to At Least 3 Years in Bronx Killing

Former NYPD sergeant Erik Duran was sentenced to at least three years in prison for the 2023 killing of Bronx Uber delivery man Eric Duprey, after he allegedly threw a cooler at him during an undercover operation. Duran became the first NYPD officer in a decade to be found guilty of killing a civilian on duty, with a second-degree manslaughter conviction earlier this year and firing from the force. Prosecutors sought, and supporters urged, a prison term, while Duprey’s family emphasized that no sentence could truly remedy the loss.

Bronx Teen Reunited With Family After 10 Months in ICE Custody

After about 10 months in ICE detention, Dylan Lopez Contreras, a Bronx high school student who came to the U.S. from Venezuela, was released before dawn on Wednesday on his own recognizance, wearing an ankle monitor and subject to routine immigration check-ins. His release followed advocacy from his family, ROCC NYC, and allies including Senator Chuck Schumer, and comes amid a broader wave of releases of detained school-age migrants; he was arrested at a Lower Manhattan courthouse last May, had turned 21 in custody, and is back home to finish his education while the case proceeds.
