For half a decade, Kawaski Trawick ’s family and friends have been demanding accountability after the Bronx man was shot and killed by police at his home in 2019.
On Wednesday, demonstrators led by the Justice Committee rallied on the steps of City Hall calling for accountability in the deadly incident.

This call for changes to be made to the police response to mental health crisis comes hot on the heels of last month’s police shooting death of 19-year-old Queens resident Win Rozario who actually called 911 for help himself but ended up being shot to death in his own home by responding officers.
