Probe ’10 slay by cop

Celebs’ letter to Barr

A group of A-list celebs is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the death of an unarmed black Pace University junior who was fatally shot by a white Westchester cop in 2010.

A letter sent Monday to US Attorney General William Barr urges the DOJ to reopen the case of Danroy “DJ” Henry’s slaying and probe possible police misconduct.

“The facts support this request, the law all but requires it, and justice — it demands it,” reads the letter signed by Rihanna, Jay-Z, Charlize Theron and others.

The letter asks authorities to examine whether a pattern of discrimination led to Henry’s killing.

“If it did — deliver the justice that restores this young man’s name and reputation, while giving hope to other young black men who are just like him and desperate for change,” the missive states.

Henry, 20, was unarmed and in his car when an officer knocked on his window on Oct. 17, 2010. Instead of stopping, police said, Henry pulled away, according to reports.

Pleasantville Police Officer Aaron Hess initially said he stepped in front of Henry’s car, which plowed into him.

But the Henry family’s attorney, Michael Sussman, said in civil filings that Henry was driving slowly when Hess fired through the windshield, killing Henry.

Another officer, Ronald Beckley, told his supervisor he had fired at Hess, whom he said was the aggressor, to stop him — but his statement was later altered.

A grand jury declined to indict Hess in 2011, and the US attorney’s office said in 2015 it would not bring federal charges against the officer.
