Robbery Suspected in Killing of Correction Officer
Police believe two members of the Crips killed an off-duty corrections officer yesterday morning in order to steal his motorcycle. Kenneth Duncan, who had worked for the city's correction department for 17 years, was found shot in the head outside his Remsen Village home.
According to a police source, the men approached Duncan and a friend in Duncan's garage as they were installing new exhaust pipes to his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 motorcycle. Duncan is described as a motorcyclist enthusiast and had been a mechanic before becoming a corrections officer.
The Post reports one of the gang members asked if the bikes were for sale, which Duncan said they weren't, only for the man to say, "Maybe we'll take them for free." Duncan, who identified himself as a correction officer, and the man both reached for guns and fired; Duncan's shots missed the man.
Police brought eleven people found hanging out a local Dunkin' Donuts into custody, but don't think Duncan's killer is among them. Correction Officers' Benevolent Association president Norman Seabrook said, "He took one shot in the face, stood for a last few moments, looked at the person he was protecting and said, 'I'm hit.'" And the Correction Department said Duncan was an "excellent officer" and told the Times, "When one of them goes home to his labor of love and ends up as a victim of a violent attack, it is just very sad.”

"May be will take for free".
That's chilling.
Terrible we have predators like this .
The D.O.C. does a great and thankless job for
all of us. We Feel the grief with his family of
this officers loss.
F-ing savages. I love the sense of entitlement these thugs have. Get an f-ing job and buy a bike if that's what you want.
Such savages these gang members are. The CO's at the prison he ends up in are going to assault him daily.
Crips? Maybe they only wanted advice on how to illustrate their latest children's books? Tookie would be ashamed.
The friggin' idiots went to a DUNKIN DONUTS to elude the cops!??!?! They might as well have walked into One Police Plaza.
Folks, when someone pulls a gun just give them the damned motorcycle. Even if you pull a gun back on them, just tell them to take the bike and leave.
Wait for the dude to turn around and then shoot the a hole as he's moving away from you.
was thinking the same thing. let them have the bikes then shoot as they're mounting up to ride away.
Where's Al Sharpton?
the bike pictured is a blood bike. crips would never take a red bike.
nowhuhsain?
Most CO are arrogant lazy fat asses that just sittaround passing judgement all day. He probably got what he deserved being an ass to people in the system.
Anyone else bothered by the fact that the cops walked into a Duncan Donuts, brought everyone in to custody and then found out that none of them was the killer? Is that really police work?
I understand the desire to get the assholes who did this, considering they have no respect for human life, but rounding up 11 people who, seemingly, had nothing to do with the incident seems a bit extreme.
do you think theres really a division between cops and CO's. Both are just as socially impared as the next. They see there jobs as entertainment. They feel bored and powerless being themselves so they get a job in humanites and abuse there power.
