"According to the investigation, at 12:35 a.m. on Dec. 21, Officers Amanda DelaRosa and Rocharlie PointDujour, went to an apartment building at 1170 Nameoke St. in response to a 911 call placed by the man's father Kevin Fray, who said he called cops for help after his son had smoked weed and was acting erratically. The video shows the two officers meeting the father and Chez Fray's mother, Sheanette Dunbar, in front of the building"
"The officers instructed him to drop the weapon, but he did not comply. His father tried to intervene and wrestled with his son before the officers ordered him to get behind them. After ordering him to drop the weapon more than a dozen times, for more than a minute, Fray lunged towards them and one officer fired her Taser while the other cop discharged her service weapon, striking Fray once in the chest."
Body-worn camera footage was released in connection with the death of 29-year-old Chez Fray after an encounter with two 101st Precinct officers. Officers Amanda DelaRosa and Rocharlie PointDujour responded at 12:35 a.m. on Dec. 21 to a 911 call from Kevin Fray, who said his son had smoked weed and was acting erratically. The officers met the parents, went to the fourth-floor apartment, then encountered Chez Fray in the hallway holding a boxcutter. Officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon. After a struggle involving his father and a lunge by Fray, one officer used a Taser and another fired a service weapon, striking Fray in the chest. Fray was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and pronounced dead. The Office of Special Investigation released two body-worn camera recordings pursuant to a directive aimed at increasing transparency under New York State Executive Law.
