The notice of claim filed by Cynthia Salichs, the mother of the officer, Eric Hernandez, 24, contends that the uniformed officers at the scene used excessive deadly force against Officer Hernandez, who was pointing a gun at another man outside a White Castle on Webster Avenue. Officer Hernandez was attacked in the White Castle only minutes before by a group of men and had pulled his gun on a man he mistakenly believed was one of his attackers. Officer Hernandez did not drop his gun and did not identify himself as a police officer. He was shot three times by another Bronx officer, Alfredo Toro, and died of his injuries 11 days later.
