The situation escalated rapidly after Durham called 911; he was found in distress while attempting to disarm an assailant wielding a large knife.
Attorney Lee Merritt emphasized that Durham was not a threat and that the police use of deadly force was unjustified in this tragic incident.
Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren noted that there was a prior relationship between Durham and the assailant, which complicated the circumstances of the shooting.
The series of events leading to Durham's death raise serious questions about police protocol, particularly in crisis situations when victims are mistakenly perceived as threats.
