The shooting marked the 13th shooting by an LVMPD officer in 2024.
Family and friends of a man killed in a police shooting demand justice and answers from Las Vegas police about why an officer shot him while he was struggling with an intruder.
Body camera footage released on Thursday shows Officer Alexander Bookman, 26, walking inside the home and finding Durham struggling for control of a knife with 31-year-old Alejandra Boudreaux. “I’m disgusted with the Metropolitan Police,” Isabella Durham,15, Durham’s daughter said while addressing the media on Thursday. “The fact that they wrongfully shot my dad and then tried to spin the narrative to cover them, saying that there were gunshots there, that he had a knife, none of that is true.”
“The violence that occurred here was under someone who was extremely, extremely angry and extremely violent,” Isabella said. “And I am disgusted in how the Metropolitan Police told my father, after killing him, to stay down. Knowing, treating him like he was the suspect in the situation, he was the victim, and I'm disgusted that the Metropolitan Police will allow me to live fatherless for the rest of my life.
