On Sunday night, Jhamal, whose last name is also Gonsalves, was out on his scooter amid a group of hundreds of other motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes.

As the group passed down Elmwood Avenue at Bissell Street, a number of marked Providence police cruisers are seen following them on a cell phone video recorded by a witness.

At a press conference Monday afternoon, Providence police said they were still investigating if the fully-marked cruiser collided with Jhamal's scooter, which police said was unregistered and not equipped with a license plate.

After watching multiple videos from witnesses, Mark Gonsalves said he wants to know why his son appeared to be singled out.

"This is for a traffic citation. You know? The officer let dirt bikes and 4-wheelers, all the illegal bikes, go by him. He decided to go chase a kid on a scooter that is street legal," Gonsalves said.




ummmm.....if this 24 year old's "scooter" is "street legal" then why is it unregistered and not equipped with a license plate and why is he riding it on a city street?

the local news provides a picture of the victim with his bike...if that's what he was riding it's not a "scooter".... it's a dirt bike...I bet it's fun to have hundreds of them going through your neighborhood at night
