Police who shot and killed Kawaski Trawick won’t face discipline, NYPD commissioner says
Two NYPD officers who confronted — and one of whom shot and killed — a Bronx man who was having a mental health crisis at his apartment in 2019 will not face discipline from the police commissioner, the department announced on Friday.
“No, no — don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,” Davis said, according to the DA’s report. The prosecutors’ investigation found Trawick yelled “I’m gonna kill you all! Get out!” before Thompson fired four times and struck Trawick twice. Trawick was taken to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital by emergency medical personnel and pronounced dead that night.The final decision sat with Caban, who made his announcement just before 5 p.m. on Friday.
Both New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams released statements sharply rebuking Caban’s decision not to discipline Thompson and Davis.
