Family receiving legal advice on NY policeman’s killing of ‘disturbed’ Guyanese man

The family of Dwayne Jeune, the Guyanese man shot and killed by a policeman in an East Flatbush, New York apartment on Monday, is currently engaging with lawyers, although there have been no confirmed reports of action to be taken by the state.

Jeune, 32, who lived at 1370 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, and hails from the village of Victoria on the East Coast of Demerara, was fatally shot on Monday by Officer Miguel Gonzalez, after his mother called 911 for assistance, when he began behaving erratically.

Jeune was described as “emotionally disturbed” by news reports.
