STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The man killed in a police-involved shooting Sunday night in Fort Wadsworth has been identified.
Faustino Dioso, 50, was fatally shot by police after he allegedly rushed the officers with a knife, according to a law enforcement source.
Neighbors and public records confirmed Dioso as a resident of the home on Bridge Court where two officers responded to a domestic dispute call around 9:43 p.m.
NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill told reporters at a press conference early Monday morning in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, that the NYPD has two domestic incident reports on record for the home. Neighbors told the Advance they have seen cop cars at the house before.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said that footage taken from the officers' body cameras shows the man attempt get past a woman police believe is his wife, repeatedly telling officers to shoot him while he held a 10-inch blade in his hand.
The weapon also had a 4-inch handle, according to police.
Officers attempted to use a stun gun to subdue him, but when that failed they fired approximately 10 to 12 shots, according to Shea.
A 26-year-old police officer who was shot in the incident is in Staten Island University Hospital, and is expected to recover. Police have not identified the officer.
The man shot by police was taken to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.
Mayor Bill de Blasio visited the officer Monday morning, but did not speak with the press. A spokesman for his office declined comment, but said a statement would be released.
