Video shows NYPD officers killed a Queens teenager minutes after he called 911
Newly released body-worn camera footage shows NYPD officers fired five shots at 19-year-old Win Rozario in March, killing him next to his mother and little brother in their kitchen as they pleaded with police not to shoot less than three minutes after officers arrived at his Queens home.
The video shows Rozario grabbing a pair of scissors as soon as the officers enter his kitchen. He is immediately Tasered and shot in the same spot moments later, the video shows. His mother and brother are on the floor next to him as the bullets fly overhead. “The video that was released makes it clear that Win should be alive but the police came and murdered him in our kitchen without any care for him or us. The police created a crisis and killed him in cold blood. The officers should be fired and prosecuted for murder as soon as possible,” the family wrote.
Last fall, a mental health crisis response team was called to Rozario’s house, police officials told Gothamist. When police arrived at the apartment shortly after, Rozario had already voluntarily hospitalized himself, they said. The NYPD was called to the home again several days later. Officials did not provide details about what happened that time.
