Former NYPD Sergeant Sentenced to 3 to 9 Years for Fatal Cooler Toss

A judge sentenced former NYPD sergeant Erik Duran to three to nine years in prison for the 2023 death of Eric Duprey during an undercover drug operation. Duran threw a plastic cooler at Duprey while he was riding a motorbike to escape a narcotics sting in the Bronx. The impact caused Duprey to lose control and crash, resulting in his death from blunt force trauma. Duran had faced a maximum sentence of 15 years behind bars for the manslaughter conviction before the final ruling. The sentencing follows a trial where prosecutors argued Duran used excessive force. Defense attorneys highlighted Duran's history as a model officer who grew up in a violent neighborhood. However, the court determined that the fatal cooler toss warranted significant prison time for the former officer.
