Albuquerque Police Release New Video in Shooting of Homeless Man

HeadlineJun 13, 2014

The Albuquerque police have also released new video from the scene of their fatal shooting of James Boyd, a homeless man with schizophrenia who was camping when police approached him in March. Earlier police footage showed Boyd apparently agreeing to surrender and turning away to pick up his belongings before officers fire a flashbang grenade, release a dog on him and open fire. In footage released Wednesday, Boyd can be heard saying he is afraid to descend because officers might shoot him; one reassures him they won’t. The police say they were unable to recover any footage from Officer Keith Sandy, the officer who reportedly fired at Boyd first.
