The ‘usual suspect’: falsely arrested three times, is there a viable claim?
Joseph Brown, 29, was arrested in March, on suspicion of a murder in Coney Island.
Charged with shooting four people and killing one, police said that Brown knocked on the apartment’s door and shot a man in the head after being let inside. Investigators say Brown then shot three other people in the apartment.
After reviewing the evidence, police and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office have now determined that Brown may not have been the shooter. Brown, having spent a week behind bars, was released this past Friday.
