The family of Win Rozario — a 19-year-old Bangladeshi teen from Queens who was killed by police officers last year — has filed a lawsuit against two New York City Police officers and the City of New York. In March 2024, Rozario called 911 asking for help during a mental health crisis, but two NYPD officers instead tasered Rozario and shot him at least four times within minutes of entering his family’s home. Police body-camera footage showed Rozario was standing on the other side of the kitchen when he was attacked, as his mother desperately tried to shield him. The officers responsible were placed on 'desk duty' after Rozario’s killing and have faced no criminal charges.
