New York City officers won't face charges in fatal shooting of 19-year-old man
The New York Attorney General found insufficient evidence to disprove officers’ justified use of deadly force in the mental health crisis shooting, amid calls for improved crisis response.
- Thursday, the New York State Attorney General's Office said two New York City police officers won't be charged in the shooting death of 19-year-old Win Rozario, as the Office of Special Investigation found the use of deadly force justified.
- A 911 caller reported 'I think my son is on drugs and is acting mad erratic', and after the officers entered Rozario's home, he grabbed a pair of scissors and moved toward them, prompting a Taser deployment.
- One officer then fired his handgun as Rozario's mother rushed to him and his younger son tried to pull her away, while she wrested the scissors away and pleaded 'Don't shoot'.
- Both officers still face an internal discipline trial by the Civilian Complaint Review Board and a lawsuit by Rozario's family, while Patrick Hendry of the Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York defended their split-second decisions.
- The report recommends expanding a pilot that dispatches paramedics and mental-health professionals citywide, urges more officer training, and calls for a state law for public-health-based crisis response, reflecting Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's platform.
