The Durham family’s attorney, Cannon Lambert, was at the court, as was Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson.

Durham’s family is seeking the arrest of a Metro police officer who responded to Durham’s call to report the home invasion. 26-year-old officer Alexander Bookman has been with the department since 2021.

LVMPD said Bookman fired six rounds at Durham inside the home.

“Agent Bookman belonged in that courtroom today, and so this is 50% of the puzzle,” Lambert said. “And so you can imagine that we are not happy with 50% of the puzzle.”

Wolfson said Boudreaux is a flight risk and a danger to the community. In an arrest report, Boudreaux said she wanted police to kill her.

The prosecutor revealed that she had previous felony convictions in five different states.

“I wish it was as simple as a 10- or 15-second video clip. It’s not. I want to make the right decision, so I’m going to watch everything,” Wolfson said. “It is undisputed that Officer Bookman and another officer were at Durham’s residence approximately 24 hours earlier and interacted to some extent with both Mr. Durham and Defendant Boudreaux.”

Judge Amy Wilson granted Boudreaux $1 million bail.
