SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 5 – Dyquan
Christopher is charged with
being a felon in possession of
a firearm.
On July 5,
2022 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Alvin K.
Hellerstein held a suppression
hearing. Inner City Press
attended and covered it.
On the
witness stand in person was an
officer who chased
Christopher, and picked up a
gun after Christopher was
tackled on the sidewalk in
front of the Bronx Academy for
the Future on Southern
Boulevard between 174th and
173rd Streets.
At issue
was whether the gun was found
in the pocket of Christopher's
Moncler jacket or under him,
and whether he said "just take
the gun and let me go
home."
Judge Hellerstein
asked the prosecutors why he
was leading the witness; there
followed a sidebar discussion,
rare for a suppression hearing
without a jury.
Inner City Press
will continue to follow the
case. It is USA v.
Christopher, 22-cr-55
