WASHINGTON: Police in the US state of New Mexico released footage on April 14 showing officers shooting a man dead after responding to the wrong address. The Farmington Police Department released body camera videos and 911 audio of the incident on April 5, in which three officers knocked on the door of the wrong house. They were responding to a call about domestic violence from 5308 Valley View Ave but footage shows the officers arriving at a house marked “5305”. The officers then request confirmation of the address from dispatch and discuss whether they are at the wrong house. It remains unclear why the officers, who are on paid leave for the length of the investigation, approached the wrong address, police said.
