New York City, New York — The NYPD released body-worn camera footage from an officer-involved shooting that occurred on February 8, 2019, in the confines of the 7th Precinct. During this incident, Police Officer Nelson Cordova and Police Officer Jagdeep Singh, assigned to patrol in the 7th Precinct and attired in uniform, discharged a combined total of seven shots from their service firearms in the course of a confrontation with an armed subject, later identified as Joshua Rembert-Williams, a 32-year-old male. Mr. Rembert-Williams was armed with a kitchen knife with an eight-inch blade during the incident. The knife was recovered at the scene of the incident during the investigation. On Friday, February 8, 2019, at approximately 6:56 AM, a 9-1-1 call was received reporting that Mr. Rembert-Williams, the caller’s husband, had violated an order of protection. The caller also explained that he was trapped in the bathroom because Mr. Rembert-Williams, who was in possession of a knife, was attempting to assault him and threatening to kill him. Police Officer Cordova and Police Officer Singh responded to the call for assistance, arriving approximately ten minutes later. Upon entering the apartment, the officers spoke with the complainant, who informed them that Mr. Rembert-Williams was no longer at the location.
Police Officer Cordova began checking the apartment to confirm Mr. Rembert-Williams was no longer present. While doing so, Police Officer Cordova encountered Mr. Rembert-Williams hiding in a closet. After frisking Mr. Rembert-Williams for a weapon, he was asked to accompany the officers into the hallway to discuss what happened prior to their arrival. While walking through the kitchen area toward the apartment door, Mr. Rembert-Williams opened a kitchen drawer, removed a kitchen knife and ran toward the complainant with the knife raised, saying, “I’m going to kill this bitch.” Police Officer Cordova fired four shots and Police Officer Singh fired three shots from their service firearms, striking Mr. Rembert-Williams in the torso, leg, and shoulder, resulting in his demise. The complainant was removed to a local hospital, where he was treated for a slash wound to his left shoulder, a puncture wound to his right temple, and a stab wound to his right shoulder. Police Officer Cordova and Police Officer Singh were equipped with body-worn cameras that were activated during this incident. In April 2020, this case was presented to the First Deputy Commissioner’s Use of Force Board. The Board determined that the use of force in this case was justified and within department guidelines.

911: Are you injured?
Caller: Yes!
911: You are injured. Do you need the ambulance?
Caller: I don't know. Maybe I need a plumber or somethin', it's leaking bad now.
Dumb dispatcher
Well that was gay. Luwl
oh no no no. I wonder if everyone would say here that nobody should have shot until AFTER someone was killed. I sure everyone in that building just get in knife fights all the time and its ok.
CNN: Gay man shot by police for coming out of the closet
As I like to say, good riddance.
Caller: “I’m in the bathroom, he’s trying to get in and kill me.â€
Dispatcher: “So he LocKed YoU in thE baTHrOOm?â€
In all fairness! Who here has something to block your bathroom door? The correct answer is no one!
comes outta the closet "oh me? Naw I was just passing thru man."
If I was his roommate I would’ve had terrible ptsd
This is the most 'New York' sounding cop ever
"How ahya, sir. Everbody ok-ay in eah?"
The dispatcher is a potato
Second worst dispatcher I’ve heard from these vids.
I can't believe how far the job has declined
"you want fries with that?"
The main reason you get frustrated watching these police videos is due to the dispatchers. Are the salaries so low that only mentally challenged people get recruited? If the dispatcher had done her job the officers would know that the husband was ASSAULTING HER WITH A KNIFE!
Wow im surprised the dispatcher didn't just hang up. She definitely sounded like she wanted to.
im confused. Is it a he or a she?
Dumbest dispatcher ever
I hope this dispatcher was fired after this. That was sad
What a way to come out the closet 😂
This is the reverse of "It's Ma'am." This time it's "it's man."
😂😂😂dude funny as shit
This dispatcher was better off just answering the call saying Pee Pee Poo Poo check and would have been more helpful.
I’m sorry but you should have to be qualified to be a police operator. Pathetic. Did he lock you in the bathroom? What!!!
YouTube hit me with the quadruple warning
Some of these dispatchers are just awful
