The man caught breaking into a police officer's car that eventually led to a deadly shooting in East Harlem has been arraigned on felony charges.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office says Miguel Goitia was charged Saturday night with criminal mischief, attempted petit larceny, and more.

He remains in jail on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be back in court on Wednesday.

Investigators say Goitia was rummaging through Officer Omar Edwards' car in East Harlem Thursday night.

Edwards, who was in plainclothes and had his gun drawn, was chasing Goitia when Officer Andrew Dunton and two other members of an anti-crime team spotted them, investigators said.

Police say when Edwards turned toward the officers with his gun out, Dunton fired six shots, hitting Edwards three times. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

According to published reports, Goitia says he heard Dunton yell, "Police! Stop! Drop the gun!"

Meanwhile, there seems to be a difference of opinion among local leaders over who should be conducting the investigation into the deadly shooting.

Right now, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau is set to look into what led up to the death of Officer Edwards.

Both Governor David Paterson and Mayor Michael Bloomberg say they believe the Manhattan D.A. can investigate fairly.

"I think Bob's shown over many decades that he is independent and he will do a thorough competent investigation and if there is something that is criminally wrong he'll take appropriate steps," said Bloomberg.

"I think it's most fair to everyone involved who is grieving at this time to go through a full investigation and not be commenting on information that isn't firmly established," said Paterson.

At a vigil and rally in East Harlem Saturday, the Reverend Al Sharpton called on leaders in Washington, D.C. to get involved.

"We need the federal government to investigate the pattern. There is something in the pattern that deals with the training, that deals with race and those who are doing the training cannot correct and look at themselves," said Sharpton.

Edwards joined the force in 2007. He leaves behind a wife and two young children.

A police spokesman says Dunton and two other officers have been placed on desk duty.
