A Guyana-born New York Police Department (NYPD) officer was on Monday cleared of all charges for the fatal off-duty shooting of an unarmed motorist, the New York Post has reported.

The report also said that the Wayne Isaac’s not guilty verdict has sparked outrage among activists and the family of the victim, Delrawn Small, who was killed by the officer following a July, 2016 road rage incident.

According to the report, a panel of seven women and five men found Isaacs not guilty of charges of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter following nearly 14 hours of deliberation.
