Man paralyzed in off-duty NYPD road-rage shooting sues city
A man shot and paralyzed by a “ticking time bomb” NYPD officer in an apparent road rage will need around-the-clock care for the rest of his life after the disturbing attack, a new lawsuit claims.
Before the shooting, the couple were getting ready to retire and hand the shop over to their son. Now, they said they may have to close up the liquor store and the two other businesses they run because of their son’s health care needs.These are the Adams officials who have resigned amid federal probes and staff turmoil
Kishan Patel’s injuries include an anoxic brain injury and damage to his craniocervical junction — where the brain meets the spine — leaving him with limited brain function. His lawyers said he is being transferred to a specialized facility in Texas, at a price of $4,000 per day, and the family plans to travel back-and-forth from New Jersey during his treatment, which they said will be a significant financial strain.
His commanding officer had told the allegedly troubled officer to get treatment for his “alcohol abuse problem,” according to a court transcript, but police officials never asked him to surrender his 9mm pistol to prevent him from “using it to commit acts of violence and mayhem.”The suit calls NYPD officer Heiu Tran, 27, a “ticking timebomb,” who was later arrested and charge with attempted murder.
“This psychotic officer drove up to Kishan, fired three shots into his vehicle and he drove off like nothing happened,” Marrone said. Himanshu Patel, father and Manjina Patel, mother of Kishan Patel, say that their focus is on their son’s care and accountability for the crime that upended their lives.Patel’s mother said that her son was “full of life,” and that while her focus is now on giving her son the best possible care, she wants accountability.
