On April 2, 1978, two Brooklyn patrol officers stopped two men in front of 660 Willoughby Street. Officer Norman Cerullo, 29, and his partner Christie D. Masone encountered violence when one suspect struggled with Masone and then produced a 9mm handgun and fired. Masone was killed at the scene; Cerullo was mortally wounded in the exchange of gunfire and later died. One of the suspects was also killed at the scene and was found carrying a loaded .22 Derringer. The other suspect, shot twice in the legs during the gunfight, fled in a vehicle, crashed eight blocks away at Summer Avenue and Lexington Avenue, and was arrested there after an off-duty officer connected the crash to the shooting. The arrested man was carrying the 9mm used in the shooting and a loaded .22 Derringer. He was charged with murder; two trials ended in hung juries and a third trial resulted in an acquittal of all charges related to the deaths of Cerullo and Masone.

Are there witnesses or relatives who can add clarity about what happened that day?
