An off-duty police officer has been indicted on a manslaughter charge in the shooting of an unarmed immigrant after a car accident. Officer Raphael Lora pleaded not guilty to first-degree manslaughter in a Bronx court as the indictment was unsealed on Wednesday. He was expected to be released on $50,000 bail.
Police say the 37-year-old Lora, who was off duty, fired five times while trying to stop Fermin Arzu from leaving the scene of a car accident in the Bronx on May 18. The Honduran immigrant died at the scene.
