It’s impossible for Raymond Fowler to explain how it felt to learn a police officer shot his only son after he was accused of taking a few dollars’ worth of fruit, he said. “Words can’t describe the moment when I heard what happened,” Mr. Fowler said. He was accused of eating a few grapes and a banana and leaving without paying, the lawyer representing Mr. Garris’s family said. The New Rochelle Police Department said Mr. Garris was shot when he tried to grab a gun from an officer’s holster. It released body camera footage that shows the events leading up to the shooting but cuts off before it takes place.
