Joseph Gray (police officer) Joseph Gray is a former New York City Police Department officer who killed four pedestrians (one of which was an unborn child), on August 4, 2001 while driving drunk in Brooklyn. The event "mushroomed into scandal" when it was discovered that other officers were drinking with Gray in a topless bar and a nearby precinct parking lot before the incident.
