An off-duty New York City correction officer who allegedly shot a teen in the face fatally is expected to be formally charged Friday, authorities said.
The New York Police Department on Thursday arrested Dion Middleton, 45, and recommended charges of murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, according to a police press release.Investigators are looking into the possibility that the victim, identified by police as Raymond Chaluisant, 18, fired a water gun at Middleton, sparking the altercation, according to a law enforcement official.
Middleton has been a correction officer since 2013 and his current job was working at the department's firing range in Rodman's Neck in the Bronx, according to a Department of Correction spokesman. Middleton went home and then to sleep after the shooting, according to another law enforcement official.
