New York Attorney General Letitia James has released body-worn camera and security footage related to the police shooting death of 79-year-old Emil Williams. Williams, armed with a firearm, was confronted by NYPD officers outside the 111th Precinct on February 18. After failing to comply with orders to drop his weapon, he was shot multiple times. The release of this video aims to enhance public trust in investigations of police-involved shootings, following a protocol established by New York State Executive Law for assessing such incidents.
The release of this footage follows Attorney General James' directive that camera footage obtained by her office... be released to the public to increase transparency and strengthen public trust.
At around 6:40 p.m. on Feb. 18, the 79-year-old Williams walked into the parking area next to the 111th Precinct... while holding a firearm.
