A retired correction officer who shot Gilbert Drogheo, 32, in Brooklyn will not be indicted. The former officer, Willie Groomes, 69, shot Drogheo dead at the Borough Hall station in Brooklyn in March. Brooklyn District Attorney, Kenneth Thompson, said in a statement: 'Following a full and fair investigation into the fatal shooting of Gilbert Drogheo inside the Borough Hall subway station on March 10, 2015 by retired Corrections Officer William Groomes, I have determined that criminal charges are not warranted in this matter.

Full Title is:
Retired corrections officer, 69, who shot and killed 32-year-old black man in Brooklyn subway station, will NOT be indicted.
The title is misleading. You can watch the video and draw your own conclusions.

“You can watch the video...”

Not anymore; they pulled it.

I’m watching on a phone...maybe I’m not seeing it clearly, but the shooter is black. Right?

The shooter is black. The victim appears to me to be Hispanic. Its a shame we have to note such things but that is today's climate.

The victim's family is claiming the shooter got a break because he was in law enforcement.

Here is more info. It does look like the shooter chased down the victim. (Gawker is a liberal site not welcome on FreeRepublic.)
