Brooklyn family calls for justice after dad's death

Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Brooklyn family called for justice Saturday, claiming a 43-year-old father of eight collapsed and died after NYPD officers wrongfully stormed their home in a morning raid.

A single tear streams down the face of Anna Alcis. In the last 72 hours, she has become a widow and a single mother of eight.

The family's fight is now getting support from Reverend Al Sharpton, after 43-year-old Carlos Alcis had a fatal heart attack during a NYPD raid of the family's home.

Sharpton demanded a full criminal investigation into the circumstances leading to Alcis's death.
