Delrawn Small

Deadly force

Off-duty Officer Wayne Isaacs got in an argument with another driver, Delrawn Small, in Cypress Hills. Both men stopped their vehicles at a red light on Bradford Street. According to the NYPD, that's when the driver of a 2016 Kia EX exited his other--with a 5-month-old inside--and punched the officer's head through an open driver's side window. Police said the beating continued despite the officer identifying himself as a member of the NYPD. He then pulled out his gun and shot and killed Small. Witnesses dispute the police version of events, saying Small never punched Isaacs. Isaacs was indicted on second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter charges. He was eventually acquitted.
