In July 2024, the City Council of Troy, New York, approved a $5.77 million settlement with the family of Sabeeh Alalkawi, a thirty-year-old delivery driver who was killed when a Troy Police Department officer allegedly sped through a red light and collided with his vehicle. On February 22, 2023, Officer Justin Byrnes was responding to a domestic violence call and was driving at a high speed when he ran a red light and struck Alalkawi’s car, fatally injuring him. Alalkawi was pronounced dead at a hospital. In 2024, Byrnes was terminated from the Troy Police Department. In February 2025, the New York State Attorney General’s Office declined to pursue criminal charges after concluding that prosecutors could not prove recklessness beyond a reasonable doubt. Sources |

In August 2021, the City of Troy agreed to pay $1.55 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of Edson Thevenin, who was fatally shot during a DWI stop in April 2016. Cinthia Thevenin filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Troy Police Department following the death of her 37-year-old husband, Edson Thevenin. The lawsuit alleges that Thevenin was wrongfully killed by Sergeant French during a DWI stop in April 2016. An internal department investigation found that French had forced Thevenin’s car off the road and lied about aspects of the case. Following the death of Sergeant French due to COVID-19 complications, the city ultimately decided to settle the lawsuit. |
