NEW YORK (AP) - A police officer pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a manslaughter charge in the shooting death of an unarmed man after a May car accident.
A grand jury's indictment of Officer Raphael Lora was unsealed in a Bronx courtroom Wednesday. He was released on $50,000 bail. He also was suspended without pay.
Police have said that Lora, 37, who was off duty, fired five times while trying to stop Fermin Arzu from leaving the accident scene on May 18. The Honduran immigrant died at the scene.
