The NYPD officers who shot and killed a Bronx man in 2019 will not be disciplined by the department. Commissioner Edward Caban stated that the officers acted within the law during the incident. The man, Kawaski Trawick, had been locked out of his apartment and was holding a knife when the officers arrived. Despite repeated requests to drop the knife, Trawick allegedly threatened the officers, leading to the use of a Taser and ultimately fatal shots being fired.
