Use of Force - David Felix

"Use of Force" is a sub-series of the podcast where we highlight one instance of NYPD use of lethal force over the past decade along the route we're walking for the week. The name refers to the Use of Force reports the NYPD generates each year where descriptions of these events are compiled. This week we discuss the 2015 death of David Felix, 24. Two detectives entered Felix's room without a warrant on suspicion of purse theft. The ensuing chase and struggle resulted in Felix being shot at point blank range.
