Police reportedly shot and killed a man in New Mexico after mistakenly knocking on his door to look into a domestic violence incident.
According to news outlets and body-camera footage released by the Farmington Police Department in northern New Mexico, three officers knocked on Robert Dotson’s door at 5305 Valley View Ave earlier this month despite asking dispatchers if they were at the right address.
Dotson answered the door brandishing a gun and pointing it at the police, who then started shooting and killed him.
According to reports, on Friday, police who were supposed to be responding to a 911 call from 5308 Valley View Ave. released video and 911 audio of the incident.
According to a statement from the Farmington Police Department, Chief Steve Hebbe ordered the release of the video and audio in accordance with state law “and out of a desire to be forthcoming and transparent with the Farmington community, the general public, and the news media.”
Police continued to knock on the door despite doubting whether they were at the correct address and asking dispatch for confirmation in the video.
“All of us — the men and women of the Farmington Police Department — recognize the severity of this incident,” Hebbe said.
“Once again, we wish to express our condolences to the Dotson family and as your chief of police, I wish to convey how very sorry I am that this tragedy occurred.”
In one of the 911 audio files released, Dotson’s daughter can be heard crying before saying that her mother was screaming and her father had been shot.
