2023 Death of Mischa Pataski-Fay

News report with body-worn camera video

On January 1, 2023, Pataski-Fay's mother called police, as she felt Pataski-Fay had armed himself with a knife and that her husband was in jeopardy. Wall and Officer Nathan Ayotte responded. The officers encountered Pataski-Fay, who approached them with the knife. Wall fired his handgun, striking Pataski-Fay. Ayotte fired his Taser at almost the same time, which was ineffective.[5]

Officers rendered aid until paramedics arrived. Pataski-Fay died at the hospital.[5]

The incident was captured on officers' body-worn cameras.[5]
