WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Passengers riding in the car in which a college football player was fatally shot by a New York police officer both mentioned that condensation made it difficult to see out the windshield.

It’s not clear if the condensation figured into the confrontation that led to the 2010 death of Danroy Henry Jr.

The 20-year-old from Easton, Mass., was killed as he pulled away from a bar disturbance in Thornwood, N.Y.

The officer who shot him through the windshield was cleared by a grand jury. The passengers’ statements were among the documents released Monday in a family lawsuit against him.

One passenger said in a police interview that the windows had fogged up. The other said in a deposition that he couldn’t see out the front because of condensation.
