LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is releasing more details on a fatal shooting of one of his officers.

A news conference Thursday gave us more information about what happened early Tuesday morning at a residence near Sunset Park.

The man police say called for help is the one who was shot and killed by Officer Alexander Bookman.

Las Vegas police address 8th fatal officer-involved shooting this year

Around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday, police say 43-year-old Brandon Durham told 911 dispatchers that he was inside his home with his 15-year-old daughter and that two people were trying to get inside.

He told dispatchers he was locking himself in a bathroom. But when the police arrived, Asst. Sheriff Dori Koren says they heard screams and found Durham struggling with the suspect, 31-year-old Alejandra Boudreaux.

Officer Bookman ordered them to drop the knife before shooting and killing Durham.

Officer involved shooting

“So in terms of whether the officer knew the identity, this incident technically happened less than 72 hours ago,” Koren said. “We are still very early in the investigation. I can’t speculate exactly what the officer knew at the time or what the threat perception was at that time.”

Boudreaux was arrested and faces multiple charges, including one count of home invasion and assault with a deadly weapon.

Police also say Boudreaux and Durham knew each other.

In an earlier statement, LVMPD said Officer Bookman is 26 years old and has been employed by the department since 2021.

There are a lot of unanswered questions in this investigation, which Metro officials say is still in its early stages.

“A review of this incident is being conducted by the LVMPD Critical Incident Review Team,” officials said. “This review focuses on policies, tactics and training related to this use of force.”
