NYPD releases bodycam video of police shooting at Brooklyn subway station

The NYPD has released body camera footage of a police shooting at the Sutter Avenue subway station in Brooklyn, which left both the suspect, Derrell Mickles, and a bystander, Gregory Delpeche, critically injured. The incident occurred on September 20, 2024, when Mickles entered the station without paying and later returned brandishing a knife. Video evidence shows officers attempting to subdue him with tasers, which proved ineffective. After Mickles made a threatening move towards the officers, they discharged their weapons, firing a total of nine shots. Mickles has been indicted on eight charges, including attempted aggravated assault on a police officer, while he remains in recovery at Kings County Hospital.

Delpeche's family has expressed outrage, labeling the police response as reckless and asserting that their client was directed to stand in a location where he was ultimately shot. The case has drawn attention to the NYPD's practices and the consequences of police encounters in public spaces. Mickles' next court appearance is set for November 20.
