Nelly and Ricardo Lopez are beside themselves. Their 20-year-old son, Angel Lopez, and his best friend, who family identified as 18-year-old Jeremy Ramos, were killed when the ATV they were riding on crashed Friday morning."Very loved. [It] left us all traumatized," friend Adonis Suero said.
"They was chasing them. One hundred percent we sure they were chasing them," brother Ricardo Lopez said.The NYPD confirmed to CBS2 that two police officers were moved to modified desk duty while authorities investigate if they indeed were chasing the ATV. ATVs and dirt bikes are illegal on New York City roads and sidewalks. Those caught riding face fines or arrest and have their vehicle seized.Under the NYPD patrol guide, pursuits of vehicles are allowed as long as officers follow specific protocols.
"Police have to enforce the law and that's a tight rope police have to walk, between protecting the public by not escalating a bad situation," attorney Andrew Lieb said.
