Monday’s hearing is a likely last-ditch attempt to find the officers accountable in the April 2019 death of 32-year-old Kawaski Trawick.
A disciplinary trial is beginning Monday against the two NYPD officers wanted in the deadly shooting of Kawaski Trawick in 2019.Kawaski Trawick's interaction with the police lasted less than two minutes. Starting with a door knock, it ended with the 32-year-old Black man shot dead by a white New York Police Department officer in his own apartment, the killing caught on body camera and surveillance video.
The Civilian Complaint Review Board will argue that Officer Brendan Thompson, who fired both his Taser and his handgun at Trawick, used an improper amount of force, and both he and his partner, Officer Herbert Davis, didn't promptly seek medical care for the dying man. "The case was thoroughly investigated by both the Bronx district attorney and the NYPD’s Force Investigation Division, which found no evidence of wrongdoing by these police officers," PBA President Pat Lynch said in a statement. "CCRB is not claiming it has any new evidence that would change those findings."
A few minutes later, the two police officers arrived at his door. As seen on surveillance video and Thompson's body camera footage, what followed was this: Davis, a 16-year veteran at the time, knocked and when the door moved ajar, pushed it open further, bringing Trawick into sight standing at his stove in his underwear with the knife and stick still in his hands.Trawick, annoyed, repeatedly asked the officers why they are there.
