Following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests across the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio enacted a policy requiring the NYPD to publicly release body-worn camera footage within 30 days. These instances occur, according to the NYPD, when “an officer discharges a firearm that hits or could hit someone; an officer discharges a taser in a way that results in death or substantial bodily harm; or an officer’s use of force results in death or great bodily harm. "Kawaski was a good, loving person with a heart of gold," said Ricky Trawick, Kawaski's father.” According to the city, family members or those involved in the incident are allowed to see the body-worn camera before it’s publicly released.

The family says Trawick moved to New York City to pursue his dream as a dancer. After noticing a man with a gun “fighting in the crowd,” the officers got out of the car and ordered him to drop his firearm repeatedly, according to Maddrey. “And then at some point, officers discharged their weapons,” he said. A spokesperson for the Police Benevolent Association said,"The case was thoroughly investigated by both the Bronx District Attorney and the NYPD's Force Investigation Division, which found no evidence of wrongdoing by these police officers. Four officers had opened fire, according to Maddrey. None were injured." The next step is for a judge at One Police Plaza to make a ruling after the trial. Capellan was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another person who received medical treatment was injured with a “graze wound. Both officers are still on active duty.” Officials said it was unclear at the time when the person was hit. The office of Attorney General Letitia James announced an investigation into Capellan’s death on Wednesday, which is standard protocol for police shootings in New York.
