Makeshift memorial candles are at the scene. Police shoot and kill a man who flashes a knife at them at an apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, United States, on September 13, 2024. Tensions boil after officers fatally shoot a man inside his East 21st Street apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, on Friday evening. One officer is struck in the head after bottles are hurled at them. Police say they are serving a warrant on a suspect wanted for multiple homicides after being tipped off about his whereabouts. Investigators say officers are allowed into the apartment, and that is when they see Vilmond Jean Baptiste, 38, hiding in the bathtub, fully dressed with his knife. ''The members from the warrant squad give numerous commands to the male. They give commands to get out of the tub, to show his hands, and then they realize that he is armed with a knife and then they give him numerous commands to drop the knife,'' says NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey. The sergeant tries to deploy his taser, but the taser does not work. That is when the suspect comes out of the bathroom with a knife and almost attempts to stab the sergeant. Police officials say at least three officers discharge their firearms, striking Baptiste. A makeshift memorial is set up where the fatal shooting takes place as NYPD guards the crime scene with a police presence and crime scene tape.
