A Guyanese-born New York police officer was on Tuesday charged with the murder of an unarmed man, whom he fatally shot during an off-duty dispute in July, 2015.
According to a New York Times report, Wayne Isaacs, 37, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and manslaughter and was granted US$500,000 bail and asked to lodge both his US and Guyanese passports. If convicted, he could face a life sentence.
The report said that Isaacs was handcuffed after the judge, Alexander B. Jeong, ordered him held on US$500,000 bail. Relatives of the slain man, Delrawn Small, sobbed, and his widow shrieked.
