May 20, 2026

NEW YORK - New York Attorney General Letitia James today released footage from a dashboard camera that her office obtained as part of its ongoing investigation into the death of Bravo Nondo, who died on December 18, 2025 following a motor vehicle incident involving an off-duty New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer in Nanuet, Rockland County.

At approximately 4:40 a.m. on December 18, an off-duty NYPD officer driving in his personal car was merging onto the New York State Thruway southbound at Exit 14 and fatally struck Mr. Nondo, who had gotten out of a stopped car. Mr. Nondo was pronounced dead at the scene. The off-duty officer was treated at a local hospital but had no significant physical injuries.

The Office of Special Investigation (OSI) of the Attorney General's Office released footage from a dashboard camera that captured the incident. The release of this footage follows Attorney General James' directive that camera footage obtained by her office during an OSI investigation be released to the public to increase transparency and strengthen public trust in these matters.

Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Section 70-b, OSI assesses every incident reported to it where a police officer or a peace officer, including a corrections officer, may have caused the death of a person by an act or omission. Under the law, the officer may be on-duty or off-duty, and the decedent may be armed or unarmed. Also, the decedent may or may not be in custody or incarcerated. If OSI's assessment indicates an officer may have caused the death, OSI proceeds to conduct a full investigation of the incident.

The release of this footage is not an expression of any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of any party in a criminal matter or any opinion as to how or whether any individual may be charged with a crime.
