LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The suspect at the center of a fatal shooting by Las Vegas police appeared in court Monday morning.

Alejandra Boudreaux, 31, had her initial appearance on charges involving home invasion and assault.

Her bail was set at $1 million by Judge Amy Wilson.

Boudreaux was arrested in connection with a home invasion that led to the death of 43-year-old Brandon Durham.

Durham was shot and killed on Tuesday, Nov. 12 after he called police to report a home invasion at his house near Sunset Park.

Body-worn camera footage from the event shows Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Alexander Bookman enter Durham's home and find him and Boudreaux struggling over a knife.

Bookman orders them to drop the knife before shooting Durham, who died from his wounds.
