Description

On July 29, 2016, at approximately 6:30 am, Gotham was quietly eating breakfast with his owner, Mike Urban, who was making his lunch for work. All of a sudden, Officers from the Buffalo Police Department were at his door. Gotham, thinking he had new friends to play with, quietly sat, wagging his tail, waiting for a treat.

Detective Charles Militello discharged his firearm on multiple times and in an unjustified manner, shot and killed 18-month old, Gotham. Mike Urban who was standing by his dogs side was begging Officer Militello to let him put Gotham in his crate when the shot was fired.
