Overview
- Video shows Jabez Chakraborty, 22, pick up a kitchen knife and advance as officers back away and shut a door before Officer Tyree White fires four shots.
- The 911 recording captures a request for an ambulance and involuntary transport, with the dispatcher noting that both police and EMS typically respond to such calls.
- Chakraborty remains hospitalized after multiple surgeries in intensive care, as the Queens district attorney continues an active criminal investigation.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited the family, said Chakraborty needs treatment rather than charges, and accelerated his plan for a Department of Community Safety and co-response models.
- The NYPD says police must attend involuntary removals and that officers were invited inside, while disputing the family’s claims about phone searches and immigration questions; union leaders defend the shooting as a fast-moving threat.
