LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Calls for accountability in the killing of Brandon Durham filled the halls of the Regional Justice Center on Monday morning.
Durham, 43, was shot and killed by a Las Vegas police officer in his home near Sunset Park on Tuesday, Nov. 12. According to information from police, Durham had called 911 for help after he said two people were outside shooting at his house.
Friends of Durham who spoke with Channel 13 anchor Abel Garcia on Friday remembered him as a "hometown boy," a passionate sports fan and a devoted father to his 15-year-old daughter.

National civil rights attorneys Lee Merritt and Cannon Lambert are working with Durham's family. At a press conference on Monday, they publicly called for the arrest of 26-year-old Alexander Bookman, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer who shot Durham.
Merritt and Lambert say they are "actively investigating potential constitutional violations in the shooting," according to a press release sent to Channel 13.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson confirmed he met with the Durham family on Monday and, in a statement to media, described Durham's death as "tragic."
"It is important to understand this investigation is in its infancy," Wolfson stated.
"It will take weeks, if not months, for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to complete its investigation; therefore, it would be inappropriate for me to express an opinion regarding whether criminal charges are going to be filed. I simply do not have all the information yet."
Officials with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department have said this incident is under review by the department's Critical Incident Review Team, and the investigation is still in its early stages. Wolfson says there are currently two investigations within LVMPD:

"There is an administrative review to determine what, if any, policies were violated and whether discipline should be imposed against any of the officers involved. There is a contemporaneous criminal investigation to determine whether Metro will submit criminal charges against any officer involved in this matter."
Once the criminal investigation is complete, Wolfson says his office will determine whether to file criminal charges against any of the officers involved in this incident.
Wolfson stressed that his office has been involved in the case since the beginning.
"One of my most experienced prosecutors responded to the scene," he stated, "and representatives from the District Attorney's Office attended a briefing last week at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department."
Boudreaux was arrested on several felony charges including home invasion and assault with a deadly weapon. Wolfson adds that this office is considering whether additional felony charges could be filed against Boudreaux.
Boudreaux was scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning but refused to be transported from jail. Judge Amy Wilson issued an order that she be brought to court next week "by any means necessary."
