Activists rallied Tuesday ahead of a court appearance for Eric Duran, the NYPD sergeant facing multiple charges in the cooler-throwing death of a man in 2023.
Surveillance video shows Duran, in plain clothes, throwing a cooler at Duprey as he fled on a motorbike during an alleged drug bust in Kingsbridge Heights. Duprey was knocked off the bike and killed.
Duran was indicted on manslaughter, assault and criminally negligent homicide charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
"It’s important that people know what happened because it’s easy for people to forget and then this court case is thrown out…We need justice for Eric Duprey," said one activist.
Those at the rally say they will continue to show up at court appearances.
