NYC Medical Examiner has classified the death of Eric Garner as a homicide, ruling the 43-year-old Staten Island man was killed when a police officer put him in a choke-hold.

Since then, Garner’s July 17 death has sparked widespread outrage after video of the incident was posted online. Meanwhile, U.S. Justice Department officials are closely monitoring the investigation into Garner’s homicide.
