When Durham called 911 for help in the early morning hours of Nov. 12, officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded.

Those officers found Durham and Boudreaux struggling over a knife.

Seconds after commanding the knife be dropped, Officer Alexander Bookman shot Durham in the head, killing him.
