Justice for Curran Irwin Curran Irwin, a Con Edison employee and father of two, was killed while walking home on the George Washington Bridge by former NYPD officer Victor Romero on October 20. What started as a near-collision between the two men's cars ended tragically after Romero aggressively chased Curran onto the bridge, pulled up next to him and pulled him out of the car window. Romero fled the scene and returned home, while Irwin, who was taken to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, was later pronounced dead. Romero was initially arrested, but his charges were reduced from murder to manslaughter, and he was allowed to post $1 million bail and walk free.
