From [HERE] 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 THE CITY 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. The video released by the Attorney General’s Office lists only the officers’ last names.

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.”
