Las Vegas Police Fatally Shoot 911 Caller During Home Intrusion Response

Brandon Durham, a 43-year-old father, was killed by an officer after calling for help during a violent break-in at his home.

  • Brandon Durham called 911 on November 12 to report armed intruders attempting to break into his home, where he was with his 15-year-old daughter.
  • Body camera footage shows Durham wrestling with a woman over a knife when Officer Alexander Bookman fired six shots, killing him instantly.
  • The intruder, Alejandra Boudreaux, was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including home invasion and child endangerment; she reportedly wanted to provoke police into shooting her.
  • Durham's family has condemned the police response, calling for the immediate arrest of Officer Bookman, who is currently on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
  • The shooting has reignited discussions about police protocols and accountability, with parallels drawn to other recent cases of fatal force used against 911 callers.
