Funeral For Harlem Shooting Victim Today

2010_08_sotol.jpg Funeral services were scheduled this morning for Luis Soto, the 22-year-old man killed during a chaotic shooting in Harlem early Sunday morning. Soto and another man, Angel Alvarez, got into a fight and between the two of them, a gun emerged. The shots attracted other police officers, who, after reportedly being fired upon, fired 46 shots. Soto, who was shot multiple times, apparently died from a police bullet while Alvarez suffered over 21 gunshot wounds. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "We have witnesses that say that Luis Soto had a gun. We have witnesses that say there was a struggle with Alvarez over the gun and witnesses that say Angel Alvarez had the gun in his possession."
