NEW YORK — Police say a 21-year-old Brooklyn man was fatally shot during a skirmish with two police officers in a housing project.
New York housing police Chief James Secreto says the officers — one male, the other female — encountered the man Nov. 19 on the ninth floor of the Van Dyke Houses in the Brownsville neighborhood.
The New York Police Department housing officers were responding to a 911 call reporting a suspicious person.
When they asked for ID, a scuffle ensued, and Secreto says the man grabbed one officer’s metal baton and struck both in the head. They then fired.
One suffered a gash, the second contusions. They were in stable condition.
Authorities identified the dead man as Erickson Brito. The officers’ names were not released. Police are continuing an investigation.
