A New York grand jury will hear evidence in the death of Eric Garner, the Staten Island man who died after a police officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest.
Staten Island Dist. Atty. Daniel Donovan said Tuesday that he will begin presenting evidence to a Richmond County Grand Jury next month.
"I assure the public that I am committed to conducting a fair, thorough, and responsible investigation into Mr. Garner's death," Donovan said in a statement. "I will go wherever the evidence takes me, without fear or favor."
Garner, 43, was questioned by officers on July 17 because they suspected him of selling untaxed cigarettes. They then attempted to arrest him. Video of the incident showed an officer placing his arm across Garner's throat and wrestling him to the ground, as Garner repeatedly says, "I can't breathe."
The incident has ignited controversy over NYPD policing protocols.
The New York City medical examiner's office ruled Garner's death a homicide, saying he died after being placed in the chokehold and suffering neck and chest compressions. His weight, chronic asthma and cardiovascular disease were listed as contributing factors.
Two officers involved in the arrest, Daniel Pantaleo and Justin D'Amico are under investigation in relation to Garner's death. Pantaleo was stripped of his gun and badge, and D'Amico has been placed on desk duty.
