25-year-old Man Shot And Killed By The NYPD After Lunging At Police Officers With A Knife At 108 Christopher Avenue
The NYPD executes a search warrant and collects evidence at the home of a 25-year-old man on Wednesday evening, one day after he is shot and killed by the NYPD after lunging at police officers with a knife at 108 Christopher Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, United States, on May 14, 2025. On Tuesday afternoon, police fatally shoot a 25-year-old man in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood following a domestic abuse call. Officers respond after a woman reports that her ex-partner is threatening her. The woman meets police in the building's lobby and leads them to the apartment. There, the man, armed with a knife, allegedly lunges at the officers. After an unsuccessful attempt to use a Taser, police shoot him in the chest. The suspect is sent to Brookdale University Hospital, where he is pronounced dead. On Wednesday evening, detectives along with the crime scene unit return to the scene and collect additional evidence at the home of the suspect. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
