Officer who fatally shot Kawaski Trawick 5 years ago won’t be disciplined, police commissioner says
Associated PressNEW 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. Caban’s decision not to impose discipline came nearly one year after a civilian agency charged with oversight of the NYPD brought administration charges against the officers, who they said should have de-escalated the situation before entering the apartment and more quickly administered aid following the shooting. New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said Friday that the NYPD was ultimately responsible for the delays and described their disciplinary process as “incredibly disturbing.” “For five years, the Trawick family has been forced to fight for any semblance of acknowledgment and accountability for their son’s killing, but they have only faced significant obstruction by the NYPD,” she said. “Ultimately, the Trawick family and all New Yorkers are left without the accountability they deserve from the city’s police department.”
