NYPD Apologizes for Wrongly Accusing Teen of Fatal Parade Shooting

The NYPD has issued a public apology for falsely accusing Camden Lee, a 15-year-old Brooklyn resident, of a fatal shooting during the West Indian American Day Parade in September 2024. Despite realizing their error months ago, police failed to retract the claim, leading to death threats against Lee and forcing his family into hiding. The department acknowledged the mistake in a statement, calling it a "misstatement" and pledging to seek justice for the victims. The case remains unsolved.
