NAACP Gets Involved in Curtis Good Police Shooting
Gwendolyn Good is still looking for answers in the death of her 41-year-old brother, who was shot by a city police officer early Friday. "They tell us they're trying to get (the investigation) over and done with as fast as possible so we can get some closure," Good said. "But they're telling us nothing." Meanwhile, the city chapter of the NAACP plans to conduct its own investigation into the fatal shooting of Curtis Good by a city patrolman. And family and friends plan to hold what they referred to as a peaceful protest march at 6 p.m. tomorrow. The shooting occurred shortly after 1:30 a.m. Friday. Patrolman Carmen Fazzolari, 45, went to the apartment of Good's girlfriend at King and Smith streets on a report that Good was destroying the home, authorities said. Another officer, David Sanchez, arrived two minutes behind Fazzolari and spoke with the man who had called the police, the 18-year-old son of Good's girlfriend. Inside the apartment alone with Good, Fazzolari fired eight shots from his .45-caliber Glock semiautomatic pistol, striking Good with six of them, authorities said. Good was pronounced dead at 2:21 a.m. at the Perth Amboy Division of Raritan Bay Medical Center, authorities said.
