On the evening of May 18, 2014, a domestic dispute in a Flatbush, Brooklyn apartment building ended with Osbourne Broadie, 39, dead and a 38-year-old woman hospitalized with a stab wound. Police responded to a 911 call about a woman stabbed on Clarkson Avenue and found the injured woman in the lobby; she was taken to Kings County Hospital Center in stable condition.

Two officers went to a second-floor apartment and encountered Broadie. Police say Broadie lunged at them with a pair of scissors and both officers fired, striking him in the hand and torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A pair of scissors was recovered from the apartment. The two officers received treatment at Maimonides Medical Center for tinnitus.

Authorities maintained the shooting was justified, but a family member publicly disputed the official account. No public reports of arrests or charges against the officers have been released. Did anyone in Flatbush witness the response that night or have information about what led up to the stabbing?
