A former New York City police officer, Errick Allen, has been acquitted of murder in the shooting of his childhood friend, Christopher Curro, during a confrontation on Long Island. The incident took place on May 12, 2020, in North Massapequa.
Allen, who was off duty at the time of the shooting, was convicted by a jury of menacing but acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges. The New York state Attorney General Letitia James' office investigated the case due to Allen's involvement as a police officer.
