“We have been informed that New York State Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman has determined that the fatal shooting of Deborah Danner by an
NYPD sergeant on October 18, 2016, in her apartment at 630 Pugsley Avenue in
the Bronx, is not within his jurisdiction to investigate.
“I intend to conduct a full, reasoned and independent investigation into this
matter, with an open mind, and any decisions that I make will be based upon the
evidence.
“I have assigned a seasoned prosecutor, Wanda Perez-Maldonado, the
Chief of my Public Integrity Bureau, to lead this investigation, under the
supervision of Jean T. Walsh, Chief of the Investigations Division, and with the
assistance of our Homicide Bureau.”
