Win Rozario, a 19-year-old from Queens, was shot and killed by police during a mental health crisis after he called 911 for help. His family, present during the incident, has since filed a lawsuit against the city claiming they were treated like criminals post-shooting. Officers responded with excessive force, shooting Rozario minutes after arriving. The family alleges they were denied the opportunity to accompany him to the hospital and faced interrogations instead. With no accountability for the officers involved, the Rozario family seeks justice and accountability.
The family contends that police created a crisis, escalated it unnecessarily, and then treated them like criminals after the fatal shooting of Win Rozario.
Despite Win's mother and brother witnessing the shooting, they were not allowed to accompany him to the hospital and were interrogated as though they were suspects.
