Delrawn Small
On July 4, 2016 Wayne Isaacs, while off duty fatally shot Delrawn Small, who was unarmed in front of his wife and children. [1]
A witness said the rapidly-escalating confrontation began when Delrawn Small, driving a 2016 Kia Ex, felt he was cut off by Wayne Isaacs shortly after the cop’s 4 p.m.-12 a.m. shift had come to an end. [1]
Police say that an unreleased video captured Delrawn, who was two cars back of Isaacs, exiting his car when both vehicles reached a red light. Small approached the driver’s side window and punched the cop twice — once in the face and once in the mouth, a high-ranking police source said. Officer Wayne took out his service pistol and shot Delrwan twice in the torso.
According to witnesses Delrawn only yelled at the cop before the shooting and that the cop shot "on impulse".
The officer was driving a 2002 Nissan Altima.
He was treated at a local hospital for head contusions according to police.
Delrawn's girlfriend Zaquanna Albert, teenage daughter and a newborn son were in their car. "They saw everything." Ali Dempsey also said that his brother, Delrawn was unarmed and was on his way to visit him. [1]
“He just shot (Small) right there on the street,” said witness Lloyd Banks. 43.
“Delrawn was unarmed.
His wife and kids were still in the car.
They saw everything.”
Zaquanna, Delrawn's girlfriend and the mother of his children said “Words can’t begin to explain the pain I feel right now.” She also posted on Facebook that “... My heart aches for this man and my son who will never remember his Dad.” [1]
