Ramarley Graham Was Killed By The NYPD Over Two Years Ago, And Nothing Has Happened

It’s been two and a half years since NYPD officers barged into the Bronx home of Ramarley Graham without a warrant, fatally shooting the unarmed teen in front of his grandmother and 6-year-old brother.

It’s been a little over two years since officers cheered fellow cop Richard Haste after he pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges for killing Graham, as Graham’s parents sobbed.

It’s been a little over a year since a judge tossed out the indictment against Haste because of a technicality, and it's been exactly one year since another grand jury declined to indict Haste.

Friday also marks the one-year anniversary of when the Department of Justice announced it would investigate Graham’s death. The DOJ has remained silent on the investigation since then, and declined to comment on its status for this story.

And it marks another year that Graham’s mother, Constance Malcolm, says her family has gone without justice.
