  • Akai Gurley, a 28-year-old man, was fatally shot on November 20, 2014, in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, by a New York City Police Department officer. Two police officers, patrolling stairwells in the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)'s Louis H. Pink Houses in East New York, Brooklyn, entered a pitch-dark, unlit stairwell. Officer Peter Liang, 27, had his firearm drawn. Gurley and his girlfriend entered the seventh-floor stairwell, fourteen steps below them. Liang fired his weapon; the shot ricocheted off a wall and fatally struck Gurley in the chest. A jury convicted Liang of manslaughter, which a court later reduced to criminally negligent homicide. On February 10, 2015, Liang was indicted by a grand jury (seven men and five women) for manslaughter, assault, and other criminal charges (five counts total) after members were shown footage of the unlit house and the 9mm Glock used in the shooting. In evaluating the possibility of equipment failure, they concluded that the 11.5-pound (51-newton) trigger could not have been fired unintentionally. Liang turned himself in to authorities the next day and was arraigned. He was convicted of manslaughter and official misconduct on February 11, 2016, facing up to 15 years of prison time. The conviction galvanized the Chinese community in New York City and across the United States. Many felt that Liang (an Asian American) was being used as a scapegoat; Chinese Americans organized rallies in major cities via WeChat, Facebook, Twitter, and email. On March 28, 2016, prosecuting Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson recommended to Kings County Supreme Court Judge Danny Chun that Liang serve only house arrest and community service for his sentence. On April 19, 2016, Justice Chun sentenced Liang to five years probation and 800 hours community service after downgrading his manslaughter conviction to criminally negligent homicide. (en)
  • 阿凯·格里枪杀案于2014年11月20日发生在美国,纽约市布鲁克林区。事件造成了28岁的黑人阿凯·格里(Akai Gurley)的死亡。开枪者是纽约市警察局的一名亚裔警官彼得·梁(Peter Liang),时年27岁。 事件发生时,两名纽约市警察局的警官正在布鲁克林区东纽约区的一幢公寓内沿着楼梯巡逻。这幢名叫“路易斯·H·平克”的公寓属于纽约市城市公寓管理局管理。两名警官中的一名,彼得·梁,在巡逻的时候将自己的配枪掏出并握在了手中。此时格里和他的女朋友正位于7楼的楼梯上,位置低于两名警官14级台阶。彼得·梁据说因受到惊吓而开枪,射击事件被定性为意外走火,子弹在经过墙壁反弹后射入了格里的胸部。格里后来在医院中去世。 2015年2月10日,梁警官在大陪审团(七男五女)观看了平克大楼的漆黑的监控录像和轮流使用作案工具(9mm 的手枪),发现它的扳机需要11.5磅的力量,判定手枪没有走火之后,被以误杀、故意伤害和其他刑事罪名(总共五项)起诉。他于第二天自首并被传讯。2016年2月11日,他被认定过失杀人和渎职两项罪名成立,面临长达15年的监禁时间。副主席(英語:Kevin Peng)在白宫请愿网站发起撤回对梁刑事指控请愿签名,该请愿签名超过了12万,超过了白宫需对此请求做出回应的10万个签名的门槛。該判決也引起了部分美国华人的抗議。他们大量使用微信,连带少量的脸书、电子邮件和推特于当月22日在全国各大城市举行游行;同时,死者的支持者也举行了抗议活动。梁警官对这一判罚提起上诉。 2016年3月28日,负责起诉的布鲁克林地区检察官Kenneth P. Thompson向国王县最高法院法官建议梁只服软禁和社区服务的刑期。2016年4月19日,Danny Chun判决梁警官5年缓刑和800小时社区服务,将其“误杀”罪名降级,但“渎职”罪名不作改变。此举引起阿凯·格里的支持者不满,并再次举行抗议活动。而梁警官的支持者则认为此次事件中没有胜利者。 (zh)
