New York Attorney General

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ Office of Special Investigation declined to charge NYPD Officers Salvatore Alongi and Matthew Cianfrocco in the March 27, 2024 fatal shooting of 19‑year‑old Win Rozario during a mental‑health crisis at his Queens home, concluding prosecutors could not disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that deadly force was justified. The report, which cites body‑cam video of Rozario advancing with scissors and a prior Taser use, recommends expanding non‑police mental‑health first responder programs, enhanced officer training, and a state law enabling public‑health responses to behavioral‑health crises; the officers still face an internal discipline trial and a family lawsuit, while Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani pledged to strengthen health‑led crisis response.
