Police officers fatally shot a man on Saturday evening, November 14, 2026, in southern Brooklyn following a pursuit on the Belt Parkway. The man was sought for unlawful imprisonment and domestic assault, with the alleged victim being the same woman in both instances.
The situation escalated after two 911 callers reported hearing a woman screaming inside a white van in Coney Island. Before officers could intercept the van, it sped away. The vehicle became trapped in traffic on the parkway, where officers attempted to detain the driver.
Despite attempts to stop him with pepper spray and a Taser, the driver began ramming police and other vehicles. Officers then discharged their firearms, resulting in the man's death. He was transported to NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn and pronounced deceased.
