Family Demands Justice After Fatal Las Vegas Police Shooting of 911 Caller

TL;DR Summary
The family of Brandon Durham, a Las Vegas man shot dead by police after calling 911 to report a break-in, is demanding the arrest of the officer involved. Durham was killed by Officer Alexander Bookman, who fired at him while he was trying to disarm a woman with a knife. The woman, Alejandra Boudreaux, has been charged with multiple offenses, including home invasion. Civil rights attorney Lee Merritt argues there was no justification for the use of deadly force, as Durham was not posing a threat. The incident is under investigation, with the district attorney's office considering potential prosecution of the officer.
