UNARMED MAN FATALLY SHOT BY N.Y. UNDERCOVER DETECTIVE
NEW YORK--An unarmed man was shot dead early Thursday by an undercover
detective during a fight on a busy Manhattan street, officials said.
Patrick Dorismond, a security guard, was shot by Det. Anthony Vasquez as
the officer and two others attempted a "buy-and-bust" drug operation near
Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, Police Commissioner Howard Safir
said at a news conference.
One of the officers, all of who are Latino, approached Dorismond, who was
black, and another man in front of a bar, Safir said.
