Stevie Thomas is a young African-American boy in New York City who attempted to shoot Officer Alice Cushman, from his outrage over the disregard of his brother Eric Thomas' shooting.
Biography[]
Stevie is picked up by Briscoe and Green for the drive-by shooting, as his mother Janet's car was used and eventually tracked. Initially, his hostile demeanor and insults frustrate the two detectives, but when questioned alone by Ed Green, Stevie breaks down and admits that he shot the officer because he holds the police responsible for the botched investigation into his brother's death.
Stevie is eventually acquitted of the assault of the police officer, and is last seen embracing his mother at the trial's end.
