New video shows Metro officer at Durham’s home a day before shooting him

New body camera footage showed a Metro police officer responding to Brandon Durham’s house one day before that officer shot and killed Durham.

Three videos were posted Tuesday to the LVMPD Public Records Unit YouTube channel on Tuesday.

Durham called 911 on Nov. 12 to report a break-in to his home on the 6900 block of Wine River Ave. Officer Alexander Bookman, 26, found Durham and an intruder struggling over a knife.

Bookman yelled “Drop the knife!” and in less than two seconds, fired his gun and continued shooting Durham as he fell. Bookman’s gun was fired six times, police said.

The newly released videos showed footage from Bookman and an unidentified officer visiting to Durham’s home on Nov. 11.

Brandon Durham can be seen exiting his car, which was parked in front of his home, when the unidentified officer approached him, according to the footage.

“I got someone I just want to get out of my house,” said Durham to the unidentified officer.“I’ve asked them to leave a couple times.”

Bookman arrived less than 30 seconds after the unidentified officer approached Durham, according to the footage.

Durham explained that his friend needed a place to stay for one day and would get on a flight the day after, according to the body camera footage.

“They said they were gonna leave today, but then they were like, ‘I’m not leaving. Make me leave,’” Durham said.

“It’s your friend right? Where’s he at? Is it cool if I go talk to him?” Bookman asked.

In the footage, Bookman and the unidentified officer knocked on the front door of Durham’s house. No one answered the knock, and they asked Durham to open the door for them.

Inside the home was Alejandra Boudreaux, 31, the body camera footage showed. Boudreax was also identified by police as the alleged intruder during the deadly break-in on Nov. 12.

“How’s it going? Why aren’t you answering when we knocked?” Bookman asked Boudreaux.

“I’m waiting for him to get back. I fell asleep. He left me,” Boudreaux said to the officers.

“We’ll just hang out while you grab your stuff. You’re gonna head out,” Bookman said to Boudreaux.

In the footage, Boudreaux can be seen leaving Durham’s house with a backpack, two bags, and a luggage in tow. The officers waited with Boudreaux outside Durham’s home while Boudreaux ordered an Uber ride.

Since the shooting, Durham’s family has called for the arrest and conviction of Bookman.

Clark County District Attorney Steven Wolfson said in a statement in November that Metro was investigating the shooting and that the investigation could take months. Wolfson said it would be “inappropriate for me to express an opinion regarding whether criminal charges are going to be filed.”

Boudreaux faces a series of charges of home invasion, assault with a deadly weapon, and child abuse.
