Police said they arrived at Trawick’s apartment door at 11:06 p.m. The two cops on the scene found him wielding a wooden stick and a serrated knife, the NYPD said.
After the officers talked with Trawick for less than two minutes, they tasered him, police said. He fell and the officers moved to arrest him. Police said he got up, threatened them and charged.
One cop fired his gun four times, hitting Trawick twice. The dance aerobics instructor was declared dead at Bronx Lebanon Hospital at 11:46 p.m.
The building where Trawick lived is called Hill House and is operated by Services for the Underserved, which helps “people with disabilities, people in poverty and people facing homelessness,” according to its website.
The security guard who twice called police said on a 911 call that Trawick had seemed mentally unstable that day and was possibly intoxicated, according to police.

They knocked on the door, which, now broken, opened by itself. They saw Trawick holding a cheap, serrated bread knife and a broom handle. The officers told him to drop what the NYPD statement refers to as “weapons.”
He allegedly did not comply and the officers tased him. He then “jumped to his feet and charged at the officers,” and one of them shot him four times in the chest. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
