Body camera footage released Thursday shows NYPD officers shooting and killing a gender-transitioning man armed with a knife during a bloody domestic feud in a Lower East Side apartment.
“I’m gonna kill this bitch!” Joshua Rembert-Williams, 32, screamed right before two 7th Precinct officers opened fire inside the apartment he shared with husband Worth Williams on Cherry St. near Pike Slip on the Lower East Side on Feb. 8, 2019.
A relative told the Daily News that the couple was fighting in recent months because Rembert-Williams was undergoing hormone therapy to transition into a woman. The husband was against the transition, the relative said.
Worth Williams locked himself in the bathroom and called 911, telling the dispatcher that Rembert-Williams attacked him and violated an order of protection.
