The intersection of 94th Street and Ditmars Boulevard in Queens became the scene of a violent confrontation last night. An off-duty corrections officer shot another man during a struggle that stemmed from road rage.
Officer Emilio Maldonado, who works at a correctional facility in Bedford Hills, honked his car's horn when the SUV in front of him didn't move during the green light. The SUV's driver and passenger, brothers Chris and Leroy Kenner, got out and started to yell at Maldonado and pound on his car, which also held his wife and their baby. Maldonado shouted at the men, who then attacked him and may have tried to take control of his gun. From the NY Post:
"After they beat him up, he pulled out his shield and then pulled out his gun," the witness said. One of the brothers shouted, "Shoot the cop!" the source said.WNBC reported last night that Leroy Kenner returned to the scene and tried to blend in with the crowd, but was noticed by witnesses. One witness told the Daily News that the argument was over someone getting cut off.Maldonado, who was bruised in the fight, shot Chris Kenner, 36, the younger brother, once in the chest, cops said.
The brothers ran, but Kenner collapsed nearby and died at Elmhurst Hospital.
Both Maldonado and Kenner were taken into police custody; Kenner was charged with assault while police believe the shooting was justified. The NY State Department of Corrections said they were aware that Maldonado had a gun; off-duty corrections officers are also allowed to make arrests.

Did they ever find that guy in the Escalade that shot the kid in Dyker Heights?

No, that was Avi Kraft.
Agreed, #4. Shame that Kraft's parents weren't run over by the train, too. We'd be rid of their bloodsucking kind forever.

Excuse me? Are you referring to the Joooos?
darwin award? really? so honking at someone sitting at a green light merits a beat down?
No, but screaming shoot the cop isn't quite a bright idea in the first place. Go ahead and do it, look for DTs and start shouting shoot the cop.
I know both of the brothers...there is no way any of them shouted "shoot the cop". They are trying to justify the shooting by lying. Bottom line is that the OC was frightened and let off a shot that killed my friend. RIP Chris Kenner. Those of us that knew you know the truth.

Who said he was beat down because he honked the horn? The what the media led you to believe and you took the first thing you heard and ran with it. Its better to use facts before placing judgement. The Hospital Released the Officer with minor injuries so where's the beat down from 2 guys one is 6' 4" and approx.300 lbs and the other is 6' 5" approx. 225 lbs.

Pay close attention to detail folks if you ever noticed always in the past when the officers are try to cover the mistakes the same saying comes out. "Someone Said Shoot the Cop" Why is it everytime they say someone said shoot the cop there is never a gun found. Yet everytime a cop is shot no one has ever said they heard someone say shoot the cop.
