Ousmane Zongo


In May 2003, police planned a raid on a warehouse known for pirating CDs and DVDs. Zongo used the same warehouse to repair musical instruments and happened to be in the area on the day of the raid. Officer Bryan Conroy, dressed in disguise as a postal worker, was guarding a bin of CDs when Zongo entered the warehouse and turned on the light. Confused by a postal worker aiming a gun at him, Zongo ran and Officer Conroy gave chase. Zongo hit a dead end and Conroy shot Zongo four times, two of them in the back. NYPD admitted Zongo had nothing to do with the counterfeit media and Conroy was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide—five years probation, and no jail time.
