The police shooting death Wednesday of Queens resident Win Rozaro has reignited calls from advocates to bar the NYPD from responding to mental health crises — and for the officers involved in the deadly incident to be fired.
Rozaro himself had called 911 for help on March 27 while experiencing his mental health crisis, prompting a response to his home on 103rd Street in Ozone Park from the 102nd Precinct. Within minutes, he was dead, having been Tased and then fatally shot when he apparently charged at the officers with a pair of scissors.
