GWB shooting latest: Rally calls for justice for Koran Irvine

We're rallying for justice tonight as they mourn the loss of the victim, Karan Irvine. Fox 5's Arthur Chen is live in Foley Square with that part of our story. Arthur. Well, Richard, this rally, as you can see, people are gathering for it already. It's going to begin in less than half an hour. At the heart of it is the accusation that the former police officer accused of killing Karan Irvine has been receiving preferential treatment. Now, as the alleged gunman from this case, Victor Romero, had his court-scheduled appearance. The supporters of the victim, Corrine Irvin, and a married father of two, prepared for this rally. Their cause is simple, as Irvin was the one shot dead, but that since then, law enforcement appeared to take steps that have raised eyebrows. Now, to be clear, the NYPD specifically tells Fox 5 that Romero has not been receiving special treatment, But lawyers for the victim and his family say police have been protecting Victor Romero's identity, keeping his image out of the press. And while Romero was initially charged with murder for allegedly shooting and killing Irvin on the George Washington Bridge in that apparent act of road rage, the murder charge had been reduced to manslaughter. Of course, that is now back up to murder. But for Irvin's family and former colleagues, there is a tremendous sense of outrage. It's a horrible feeling. You know, his family is out there. Their faces are out there. I've seen the kids' faces all over the place. They deserve privacy, not this guy. We're going to have a lot more people here at 4:30. Anybody that, you know, wants to come and join us, it's a good cause. Great man. Again, you can see hundreds gathered here for this rally, which is set to begin in less than 30 minutes. In that crowd there includes Karan Irvin's family, and it includes his wife, who is now his widow. We will bring you the latest as it develops here. But for now, we're live at Foley Square. Arthur Chien, Fox 5 News. Back to you, Richard. Thank you, Arthur.
