Las Vegas Community Rallies for Justice in Wake of Realtor Brandon Durham’s Fatal Shooting by Police Officer

In support of Brandon Durham, a local realtor who was shot by a Las Vegas Metro Police officer during a home invasion, community people staged a rally in downtown Las Vegas. Yesterday’s march, which moved from City Hall to Fremont Street, featured protesters demanding justice and accountability for Durham, who was killed on November 12 after reporting a home invasion.

A statement that KTNV was able to collect claims that Traevon Frederick, a friend of Durham’s, stated during the protest, “He had a beautiful daughter named Isabella who he was protecting in the next room.” “That was my true friend, and we don’t get too many in the world like that,” Frederick added in response to the impact of Durham’s passing. Man, we’re broken. The almost 100 protesters who held signs in favor of Durham and yelled for justice shared the same feeling.

Alexander Bookman, who was mistaken for the cop who was battling Durham and an intruder, ordered them to put down the knife they were fumbling for. LVMPD revealed body-worn camera footage that captured the events leading up to the deadly shot. According to News 3 LV, the intruder, Alejandra Boudreaux, is currently in custody and has a court appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

Stretch Sanders, the demonstration organizer, said KTNV in a statement, “Any one of us might be Brandon Durham. Then you ask why, given these incidents, we don’t feel comfortable calling the police. Sanders emphasized the significance of cultural training for officers interacting with people of color, further expressing community discomfort. Plans for a vigil in Durham’s honor at the Martin Luther King, Jr. statue on Carey Avenue and MLK Boulevard, which is set for next Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m., marked the conclusion of the demonstration.
