“First and foremost, I continue to extend prayers to the family of Akai Gurley, which continues to cope with the terrible tragedy of this fatal shooting.
“An indictment in this case allows the judicial process to move forward, a process that should be fair and transparent. An indictment helps to restore public confidence in our legal system, a confidence that was thoroughly shaken following the outcome of the Eric Garner case in Staten Island.
“It is my continued hope that the death of Akai Gurley will give life to much-needed reforms that will make the community and law enforcement alike safer.”
