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.

Address Buffalo, NY
