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.
