Brandon Durham, a 43-year-old father, was shot and killed by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police on November 12, 2024, after calling 911 to report a violent home invasion. Durham was inside his home with his 15-year-old daughter when he made the emergency call around 12:40 a.m. He told dispatchers that two individuals were shooting at and attempting to break into his home. He locked himself in a bathroom to protect his daughter.
.
Officers, including Alexander Bookman, responded to the scene. Upon arriving, they observed damage to the house and vehicles, as well as loud noises coming from inside. Bookman, the officer who later shot Durham, entered the home and saw Durham and one of the intruders, Alejandra Boudreaux, struggling with a knife. Bookman ordered them to drop the weapon. A second later, he fired his gun, striking both Durham and Boudreaux. Bookman fired several more shots at Durham as he lay on the floor. Durham was pronounced dead at the scene.
.
The police investigation found no firearms, only knives. Despite Durham's 911 call, the officers treated him as a threat rather than a victim, which led to significant controversy. Durham's daughter, Isabella, publicly expressed her disgust at the police handling of the situation, emphasizing that her father was the victim, not the “suspect”. She criticized how the officers treated him after he was shot.
.
Durham's partner, Rachael Gore, also voiced her frustration, suggesting that racial bias influenced the officers' actions. The family is now seeking justice, claiming the shooting was preventable and expressing concerns about police training and accountability.
