Body Cam Footage Unveiled in Damon Louther’s Death Probe

New York Attorney General Letitia James has released harrowing body-cam footage from the May 13, 2025, incident involving Damon Louther and members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The release comes as part of a transparent investigation into Louther’s death following an encounter in Brooklyn.

Footage obtained by the Office of Special Investigation (OSI) shows officers responding to a domestic dispute where they encountered Louther with a knife. In the tense confrontation, one officer deployed his Taser, yet Louther continued advancing. The situation escalated when a second officer discharged his service weapon, resulting in Louther’s death.

Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Section 70-b, OSI conducts thorough investigations into incidents where police officers may have caused a death. This directive applies regardless of whether the officers are on-duty or off-duty and if the deceased is armed or unarmed. The OSI investigation into Louther’s death indicates potential officer involvement.

The Attorney General’s Office emphasizes that the release of this footage does not reflect any opinion regarding guilt or innocence in criminal matters. It aims to foster transparency and public trust.
