You Decide with Errol Louis

Family calls for justice after police killing of Kawaski Trawick


Listen Later

The 2019 police killing of Kawaski Trawick inside his own Bronx apartment has not received the same attention as similar cases across the country. But this week, an NYPD disciplinary trial began for two officers involved in the fatal shooting. The NYPD says the 32-year-old rushed at officers while holding a knife during the interaction, which lasted under two minutes and was caught on body camera footage. The Trawick family and advocates are calling for accountability after the Bronx district attorney declined to bring charges and an internal NYPD probe found no wrongdoing. The administrative trial will resume in mid-May. 

In an effort to understand the fatal encounter better, Errol Louis talked about the case with Kawaski Trawick’s parents, Ellen and Ricky Trawick; Loyda Colon, the executive director of the nonprofit Justice Committee; Eric Umansky, the editor at large from ProPublica; and Marinda van Dalen, a senior staff attorney for New York Lawyers for the Public Interest.
