While leaving a movie theater Chavis and friends got into a verbal altercation with another group, and Chavis was shot by an unknown person. He was left bleeding on the sidewalk. His family and a witness contended that NYPD deliberately delayed medical attention for half an hour, with Lincoln Hospital only a block away, and caused Chavis's death. In a wrongful death proceeding the state's defense included the assertion that "Chavis had no constitutional right to medical treatment".
