Two New York City police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Kawaski Trawick inside his Bronx apartment five years ago will not face internal discipline, according to the city's police commissioner.
NEW YORK — Two New York City police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Kawaski Trawick inside his Bronx apartment five years ago will not face internal discipline, the city’s police commissioner , Edward Caban, announced Friday.
Ellen and Rickie Trawick, the victim’s parents, described the commissioner’s ultimate determination as disgraceful. “The utter disregard they have for our son’s memory, to make this decision on the five-year anniversary of his death is disgusting and shameful,” they added. As Trawick moved toward them, Officer Thompson fired his Taser at Trawick, then shot him four times with his handgun, even as his partner urged him not to use force. The full incident — between officers arriving at the door and Thompson fatally shooting Trawick — lasted under two minutes.
An administrative judge overseeing the case found the review board waited too long to bring the misconduct charges — a delay the board blamed on the NYPD failing to turn over body-camera footage and other evidence in a timely fashion.
