Body cam footage released in fatal police shooting of East Bloomfield teen
The New York State Attorney General's Office has released body-worn camera footage from the fatal police shooting of an East Bloomfield teenager last fall. New York State Police Trooper Adam Latulipe shot and killed an unidentified 17-year-old male outside of a home on State Route 64 on Nov. 15.
State police said the teen charged at a trooper with a knife in hand before the trooper shot him.
The video footage does not show the boy within arm's length of the trooper when the officer shot him. They had been in a tussle, but then had separated several feet apart.
Latulipe is working his regular patrol assignment while the AG's Office investigates the fatal shooting, NYSP confirmed.
The video starts with Latulipe telling someone at the East Bloomfield residence that NYSP got a tip that someone at the home was "not doing too well." He asks to speak to the teenager, who joins him on the porch of the home.
Latulipe quickly tells the boy to take his right hand out of his jacket pocket. The teen then pulls out an object ― which state police said was a knife.
The pair appear to tussle and fall to the ground next to the home. After they separate, the video then shows the boy running toward the trooper, and you can hear at least six shots fired. At least one struck the teen fatally.
The time from when the teenager stepped onto the porch to when the last shot was fired was less than 18 seconds.
Immediately following the shooting, an adult emerged from the home and asked the trooper three times what he shot the boy with.
The trooper kept his gun pointed at the teen. "He tried to stab me," the cop told them.
The family member then asked if an ambulance was needed, which prompted the trooper to call for EMS on his police radio. This was nearly 30 seconds after the last shot was fired.
