HeadlineApr 20, 2001

In New York, a police department administrative hearing begins today into the actions of the four officers acquitted last year in the shooting death of Amadou Diallo. The shooting will be reviewed by the NYPD’s Firearms Discharge Review Board. It will decide if the officers — Kenneth Boss, Sean Carroll, Edward McMellon and Richard Murphy — will face administrative charges. The four officers were acquitted last year of murder and other charges in the 1999 fatal shooting.
