Esteban Carpio was convicted of the murder of Providence Police Detective Sgt. James L. Allen on April 17, 2005 at Providence Police headquarters. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.[1]
While Carpio was being questioned by the Providence Police for the stabbing of an 85-year-old woman, a detective left the third floor interview room, leaving Allen alone with Carpio.[2] Carpio took Allen's gun and shot him twice, killing him. He then jumped out of the window, but was apprehended 45 minutes later.[2]
At his arraignment Carpio came in wearing a mask, with his eyes red and swollen, with his family making accusations of police brutality. According to a press conference statement made at the time by Providence Police Chief Dean M. Esserman, Carpio's injuries were sustained as a result of his jump from the third floor of a building and struggle with law enforcement.[2] At trial, Christopher Zarrella, a state police detective who helped in the arrest, testified that he had punched Carpio in the face three times. According to that day's testimony, Zarrella broke bones in Carpio's face.[3] An FBI investigation concluded that Providence police did not use excessive force.[4]
