Luilly Vargas – New York Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Detective Luilly Vargas has been named in 18 civil lawsuits since 2013, with city settlements in those cases totaling about $637,000. Among the allegations against Vargas are claims of excessive force and unjustified stops – for example, he was implicated in a 2022 case where a Bronx man was allegedly beaten, searched, and falsely charged without cause (that suit settled for $125,000). Vargas remains on active duty as an New YorkPD detective, with no public record of significant disciplinary action against him despite the series of misconduct accusations.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
