17. NYPD MURDERER- WAYNE ISAACS

18. My girl’s testimony
“Delrawn wasn’t screaming or running. He just walked over saying ‘What the f--k is wrong with you? You cut us off,’ while clapping his hands and he got shot,”
“(Isaacs) walked over to the body, he looked at him, walked away back to his car… He didn’t try to give the bleeding man CPR or help with the wounds”.
“His attitude? Like he didn't give a f--k,"
