Cops cleared in ‘stun’ kill
Priscilla DeGregory
The NYPD cops involved in the stun gun death of a Queens man wielding a samurai sword committed no wrongdoing, a report released Friday by the state Attorney General’s office said.
George Zapantis, 30, was stunned three times by officers struggling to arrest him outside his Whitestone home on June 21, 2020, after a 911 call of someone with a gun, New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office said.
Last year, Zapantis’ mother, Athanasia Zapantis, filed suit against the city and the NYPD, alleging they used excessive force. That case is pending.
