A civil lawsuit has been brought against Officer Dominick Scaccia and Thomas Gibson by the surviving family members of Roketi Su’e who was shot five times and killed May 2008 in front of his home on East 67th Street.
According to Officer Gibson and Scaccia, Su’e was acting aggressively and they shot in defense of their lives.
Family members aren’t buying this however, arguing that although Su’e was mentally ill, he was also dying of cancer and weighed only 145 pounds. The deceased’s mother, Sagaia Su’e, is suing the city for an unspecified amount in damages.
