GWB shooting: Former NYPD detective facing murder charges

Quron Irving's family wants Victor Romero's bail revoked. FOX 5 New York's report on the former NYPD detective's murder charge also follows another question: why a civilian investigation into an earlier off-duty shooting closed when he retired.

Reporter Frances Wang examines a 29-page Civilian Complaint Review Board report concerning Romero's involvement in a June 2000 shooting during an attempted robbery at a Brooklyn laundromat. The NYPD cleared his use of force, Wang reports. Separately, the CCRB closed two force allegations when Romero retired in August 2001.

That distinction matters to the story: the department's clearance and the civilian board's closure were separate actions. The CCRB is the city's civilian agency responsible for investigating complaints of police misconduct. Wang asks why its investigation ended with Romero's retirement, while retired NYPD lieutenant Darrin Porcher explains the investigative process and retirement standards.

The report has drawn about 15,000 views in six hours, an unusually fast start for a FOX 5 New York Short.

In the George Washington Bridge case, Wang reports that Romero has been indicted for second-degree murder over the fatal road rage shooting of Irving. His bail is set at $1 million, and his next court date is November 23. Irving's family continues to press for his bail to be revoked.
