Overview
- Officers responded around 12:25 a.m. to a 911 call about a father-son dispute at a Nameoke Street apartment building in Queens.
- The parents met two 101st Precinct officers, and as they exited the apartment, the 29-year-old was seen in the hallway holding a box cutter.
- After the father briefly fought with his son and then retreated behind police, officers issued repeated commands to drop the weapon.
- One officer deployed a Taser and a second fired her gun when the man charged, and officers performed CPR before EMS took him to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
- Police said the incident was recorded on body-worn cameras, the Force Investigations Division is reviewing, and the man's identity has not been released.
