8/2/18 Livonia Ave. & New Jersey Ave. completely shut down and flooded with NYPD investigators on scene where 40-year old off duty Sgt. Ritchard Blake shot 21 yr old Thayvone Santana in the face in front of 650 Livonia Ave. in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York City. Blake claimed that Santana approached him on his way to work 8/2/18 around 5am and told him "Your going to die tonight", then reached for his waist to grab a gun or knife which caused Blake to fire his service weapon putting a bullet in Santana's mouth. Santana was taken to Brookdale hospital where he has undergone multiple surgeries and is expected to survive, police obtained surveillance footage of the shooting from a daycare at 650 Livonia Ave. which shows a different story. Santana is shown approaching Blake who backs up, pulls out his gun, and shoots Santana in the face. Blake is then shown planting a knife next to a wounded Santana's body before deciding against the plot and picking it back up. The crime scene investigators on scene did not find any weapons on scene which coincides with the surveillance footage. Blake has been put on modified duty pending the outcome of the investigation. Blake was on probation with the NYPD following a domestic violence incident with his girlfriend whom is the alleged reason behind the turmoil between Santana and Blake.
