A 43-year-old dad called 911 about shots fired at his home. Then a Las Vegas police officer shot and ******* him

A 43-year-old father was shot and ******* in his home by a Las Vegas police officer last week, authorities said.

Early in the morning of November 12, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police received multiple calls about a ********* on Wine River Drive. Brandon Durham, who was home with his 15-year-old daughter, told 911 people were ********* at his house and they had broken in, Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said at a news conference.

As Officer Alexander Bookman and two others responded, they saw damaged cars and windows and heard screaming and ******** from inside Durham’s home. Bookman then kicked in Durham’s front door and, once inside, found Durham and Alejandra Boudreaux, 31, wrestling over a ****** in a bedroom doorway, according to Koren.

Bookman shouted, “Drop the ******! Drop the ******!” and fired one shot, hitting Durham and sending him and Boudreaux to the ground. Durham, on the floor, was then shot by Bookman five more times, body-worn camera footage released by police showed.

Durham was pronounced ***** at the scene. His ****** marks the eighth fatal officer-involved ********* in 2024, Koren said.

“We believe those acts were *********,” said Lee Merritt, an attorney representing Durham’s wife, Rachel Gore, and his daughter.

Police said they believed a domestic relationship existed between Durham and Boudreaux but Koren did not offer more details.

Merritt said that a week prior to the *********, Boudreaux had been at Durham’s home and refused to leave, prompting Durham to call police to remove him.

“That should have served as a forewarning to this incident,” Merritt said.

Two knives were found in Durham’s home but no **** had been recovered as of last Thursday, Koren added.

Boudreaux was arrested and faces multiple charges including ******** with a deadly *******, domestic *********, and child ******, police said.

Durham’s ********* ******** under investigation by the police department’s critical incident review team.

Incidents of people calling 911 for help and being shot by police have drawn scrutiny across the country, including
