Dude deserved to get shot, but family members seldom agree...

NEW YORK, (May 03, 2024) — The mother and brother of Win Rozario, a Queens teen in mental distress, begged police officers not to shoot before they fired multiple fatal rounds at him, according to video released by state Attorney General Letitia James on Friday.

The distressing body camera footage — which took place in late March in Ozone Park after Rozario called 911 — comes less than a day after media reported the family was frustrated and had called on the police to release the videos and names of the officers.

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell has defended the killing, noting that the 19-year-old had grabbed a pair of scissors from a drawer and moved toward the officers.

The released footage confirms that, but it also shows how the situation rapidly escalated, with officers Matthew Cianfrocco and Salvatore Alongi tasing and then fatally shooting Rozario, all within three minutes of arriving at the home.

On Friday afternoon, Rozario’s family said, “the officers should be fired and prosecuted for murder as soon as possible."

“It’s been over a month since we lost Win,” the statement said. “And we miss him everyday.”

Reliving the fatal shooting is “painful and traumatic” the family added, noting they wished the video didn’t need to be made public.

“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 family said. “The police created a crisis and killed him in cold blood.”New York Attorney General Leticia James's office released officer body camera footage on Friday as part of an investigation into the fatal police shooting of 19-year-old Win Rozario in Queens earlier this year.

This tragic incident points out that while New York City does have a mental health crisis response pilot program known as BHEARD; most calls are routed to police.

NYLPI has extensively advocated for Daniel’s Law, a statewide bill that will mandate the establishment of a non-police mental health crisis pilot program across the state where trained peers with lived experience are called to peacefully de-escalate crisis situations.

I would have tased the woman too. That would have gotten her out of the way..

Fuck that. We're better off without him. He was clearly providing little, if any, benefit to society.

Alongi needs to learn to not ride the slide like it's his boyfriends dick.

But not getting that kid professional psychiatric help with prescription medication, that mother and brother basically condemned him to death when he'd eventually attack cops during an "episode" and get shot to death. No cop is stupid enough or required to try to non-fatally disarm someone rampaging at him with a deadly weapon after tasers or pepper spray failed.

That stupid idiot mother probably got her son killed. She kept the cops from tazing him to the ground, where they could have handcuffed him. Thanks to her, they couldn't do that and had to ventilate him instead.
