Among the possible candidates is Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan ... the prosecutor who oversaw the Eric Garner case in which a white New York City police officer was cleared in the death of a black man in an apparent chokehold.

Garner's death touched off nationwide protests and was one of two police killings cited by a gunman who murdered two New York City police officers this month.

Donovan said in a statement Tuesday that he was "deeply flattered by the enthusiastic expressions of support" he has received since Grimm announced his intention to resign, adding that he was "very seriously considering the race."
