The driver of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer ran over and killed 73-year-old Ngozi Agbim on the morning of Monday, June 24, 2013, as she was crossing Ocean Parkway by the northeast corner of the intersection.
The figure represents a chalk outline of Ms. Agbim's dead body lying in the street.
The words written around the figure ("No criminality suspected. Why, Ray, why?" [Commissioner Ray Kelly] "Right of way." "Killed by auto. Ngozi Agbim. 6-24-13.") express New Yorkers' frustration over the NYPD frequently not charging drivers with any criminality after they've collided with pedestrians and cyclists, causing their deaths.
