The killling of Sonia Garcia, an officer from the 77th precinct, has triggered calls for an in -depth investigation

A Brooklyn state senator wants the state police to help Suffolk County investigate the slaying of NYPD Officer Sonia Garcia.

In a letter to Gov. Spitzer, Democratic Sen. Eric Adams asked that the troopers' plainclothes unit, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, be sent to aid local investigators.

"This seems to be a complex case," Adams said at a news conference outside 1 Police Plaza yesterday. "Suffolk County has reached some form of law enforcement brick wall."

'BLOOD' HUNTED IN B'KLYN SEX-ATTACK NIGHTMARE


New York Post, 10/3/07

Police yesterday identified Deshawn Owens [pictured here] as one of three Bloods members who stormed into a Brooklyn apartment and raped three women, including a mother and her daughter.

The brutal attacks took place on Aug. 30, when Justin Harris, 24, who has already been arrested, Owens and a third gangbanger forced their way into the Crown Heights apartment on Sterling Place, cops said.

They began by pistol whipping a 14-year-old boy, his 41-year-old father and another man, 22, cops said. Then they allegedly tied up the nine males in the room, including a 5-year-old boy, before turning on the women.

The thugs, two of whom carried guns, unleashed a three-hour nightmare of terror, raping a 17-year-old, her 43-year-old mom and a 21-year-old family friend.

They allegedly fled with $1,500. Owen and the unidentified thug are still at large

Investigators believe the violence stemmed from an unpaid drug debt.
