NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Brooklyn family is claiming a 43-year-old father of eight collapsed and died after NYPD officers wrongfully stormed their home in a morning raid.

According to the family, police raided their home early Thursday morning and Carlo Alcis collapsed and died during the raid after suffering a heart attack.

Police tell Eyewitness News they knocked on quite a few doors in the building, including Carlos Alcis' family's home in search for a suspect involved in a local cell phone robbery. They say Alcis answered the door with two of his sons and it wasn't until after they left the home, that they were called back by dispatchers saying Alcis had collapsed.

Eyewitness News has at least one other family claiming that NYPD officers also broke down their door.

neighbors said they saw them storm the apartment and the next door neighbors as well.
