Police in New Mexico have released body-camera footage showing how officers shot and killed a Farmington resident in his own home on April 5. The video shows officers repeatedly knocking on a door before realizing they’d come to the wrong address. Seconds later, 52-year-old Robert Dotson appears at his front door, holding what appears to be a handgun; three officers immediately open fire, killing Dotson. The officers then exchanged gunfire with Dotson’s wife, who cried out for help. The officers, who have not been publicly identified, have been placed on paid leave pending a state police investigation.
