After Ex NYPD Romero Indicted for Death of Irvine Inner City Press Asks if Federal Not NYS Case

FOLEY SQUARE, Oct 22 –   The family of Koran Irvine, shot and killed on the George Washington Bridge on Tuesday allegedly by ex-NYPD Detective Victor Romero, on Thursday asserted that there is a cover-up, including attempts to remove all photos of the defendant from the Internet.  

Inner City Press asked the family's lawyer, in an impromptu press conference in Foley Square, if they would like to see the prosecution Federalized if possible.    

YouTube live question of the question here.

The response alluded to the scene of the crime, the bridge, spanning from New York to New Jersey. They questioned the New York District Attorney seeking an indictment on manslaughter rather than murder.    T

he family's second lawyer twice invoked NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, saying he opposed NYPD officers being able to resign and "sweep under the carpet" charges against him. Romero, they said, was working as armed security for a limousine service. 

 Inner City Press remains on the case(s).
