Summary

  • Police in East New York shot Jumaane Wright, a 28-year-old man on federal probation, after he allegedly attempted to run down officers with a stolen car. The incident occurred when officers identified a suspicious vehicle and set up a roadblock. Wright was shot after nearly hitting an officer, and the car subsequently collided with a police vehicle. A passenger in the car was taken into custody. Body camera footage of the incident was released nearly a year later by the attorney general.

Timeline

The attorney general recently released body camera footage of the shooting that claimed the life of the suspect, Jumaane Wright, a man from Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, in 2025.

When the car finally stopped, officers attempted to perform life-saving measures on the unidentified 28-year-old driver. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died. He was on federal probation for interstate transport of stolen vehicles out of Pennsylvania. A passenger was also in the backseat and was taken into custody.

Officers first attempted to pull the car over, before deciding not to give chase and alerting other precincts that the ar was headed in their direction. Police had set up a roadblock to stop it when the driver nearly hit one of them, officers say. One fired a shot at the Porsche, hitting the driver. The car continued on and struck a police car.

Police shot and killed the driver of a stolen car that reportedly tried to run them down last night, authorities said. Officers noticed a white Porsche with suspicious plates while on duty around 8 p.m. last night. After running the plate, police discovered the car had been stolen from Pennsylvania.

A 911 caller has reported an unconfirmed incident at Sea View Ave & Pennsylvania Ave.
