It remains unclear whether the officer who shot and seriously injured Raul de la Cruz will face discipline.

The man, who was holding a kitchen knife, was the focus of a letter summarizing the agency’s findings.

The board shared its findings with Raul’s father, Santo de la Cruz, in late September. The letter was shared with Gothamist by lawyers representing Raul in a lawsuit against the city. But it will ultimately be up to the new police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, to decide whether to accept that guidance. The case could be one of the first major tests of whether Tisch, who previously helmed the Sanitation Department, will align with the Civilian Complaint Review Board on officer discipline.

“I still don’t feel good,” he said. “My movements are limited, I cannot sleep well, and I feel panic.”
