The Office of Special Investigation (OSI) under New York Attorney General Letitia James has initiated a formal investigation concerning a police shooting that led to a man's death in Queens. This shooting occurred when NYPD officers responded to reports of a man with a knife. Upon arrival, the man did not comply with officers’ commands to drop the weapon. He was subsequently shot and later died at a hospital. The OSI's involvement follows New York State law mandating independent reviews in such cases to promote transparency and accountability in police operations.
The tragic shooting incident in Queens has led to the Office of Special Investigation launching a formal probe, emphasizing the necessity of independent investigations into police-related deaths.
New York State's Executive Law Section 70-b mandates an independent probe whenever a police action may result in civilian death, aiming for accountability and transparency.
