From the Daily News:A Bronx detective is under investigation for blowing off the brutal beating of a young college student by a gunman who broke her jaw.
As questions swirl about city cops minimizing crimes to cook their stats, the victim's mother said the detective wouldn't even look at a video she found of the attack.
Tatjana Sevilla, 22, was jumped at the door to her family's Castle Hill home on Jan. 15.
She managed to fight off the gunman, who was trying to force his way inside, but he fractured her jaw with a punch before fleeing empty-handed.
The student's mother, Cecilia Sevilla, said the attack was at first classified as a misdemeanor assault.
When she and her daughter went to see Detective Rene Narvaez at the 43rd Precinct to report the attacker had a gun and fractured Tatjana's jaw, the women said Narvaez acted as if he had better things to do.
"He said it would have helped if I had seen [the attacker's] face or recognized his face," the victim remembered. "I just feel like he wasn't really interested in investigating it."
Cops wouldn't upgrade the assault to a felony, despite the fractured jaw or the gun.
When the mother retrieved footage of the attack from a neighbor's surveillance camera, Narvaez wouldn't look at it, she said.

I commend the Daily News for publishing the name of the Detective. I know the directive came from higher up, but please, please write letters and ask questions. This young woman deserves justice.
please send this young woman a scarf.
i believe there is a victims of crime group that helps victims such as this girl .i am sorry she was attacked.
Did she first call 911,?Was she treated at the hospital? 3 sides to a story.................
That would be the N.Y.P.D.!!!! They will do anything not to write up a report. They will do anything but their jobs. What happened to "protect" or is it better for them (or the little troll mayor) to play with the numbers??? As I always say " the po po is a bunch of lesbians, they dont do dick. PERIOD, END OF STORY....
Unfortunately for the many who "serve and protect" there is always a minority who don't. Let's give a heros welcome to those that do and a quick boot out the door for those that deserve it.

If the attack was first classified as misdemeanor assault, one would think a police report had already been filed from a report taken at the hospital and that she couldn't elaborate because of her condition. In fact, a young girl comes in with an injury like that and the ER is calling the police. The cops don't stick around and hold your hand while you are undergoing X-rays, etc.
If the NYPD won't do jack, bring back the Guardian Angels. (vigilante patrols)
That's outrageous and the young lady and her family should look for an attorney - a Ron Kuby type to take up her right's case to move the NYPD into action. The story found here is a great way to bring attention to her plight. Imagine that the brutal thug is still out there in the neighborhood looking to do the same or potential for worse to someone else. Let's focus on getting this guy and give this young victim a sense of justice!
The nypd is run like the old soviet union.Do as your told or your off to siberia.If you were a cop living and working in the bronx and were told to tow the line, or get transfered to staten island,what would you do?
"If you were a cop living and working in the bronx and were told to tow the line, or get transfered to staten island,what would you do?"
If I met a pistol whipped teenager, I would do what I had to do to put the perp in jail. And I wouldnt excuse any faux cop that would do otherwise.
Everybody born in NY pre 1980 knows you don't call the cops for help.
You must help yourself.
Police are to generate $$ for the city and PROTECT PROPERTY not citizens
The Mayor and his dog Kelly has their hands tied so tight they can no longer do what there jobs were intended for.
When they bust somebody for assault DA lets them go with a anger management class.
commentors should read the Daily News article before
making a comment on Q.C.
BTW, many n.y.police do their jobs properly.give credit
where it is due.
There's an old rule of management: you get the behavior you incent. If there were promotions and incentives for NYPD recording crime (as opposed to the current reverse), the incidence of crime would be increasing each year. And pretty soon, the question needs to be asked if there is less crime why can't we get along with less cops.
