Two NYPD officers face misconduct charges for shooting 19-year-old Win Rozario during a mental health crisis in Queens.

Two NYPD officers face departmental misconduct charges for shooting 19-year-old Win Rozario during a mental health crisis in Queens in March 2024. Responding to a 911 call, officers Salvatore Alongi and Matthew Cianfrocco entered Rozario’s apartment where he allegedly ran toward them with scissors despite his mother’s attempts to restrain him. Body camera footage shows them tasing him before shooting him five times. Initially deemed justified, the officers’ actions were later overruled by the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which found excessive force and abuse of authority. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch upheld the charges, while the New York Attorney General’s office continues its investigation. No criminal charges have been filed, and the officers’ union has criticized the decision as politically driven.
