New York Attorney General Letitia James dropped a bombshell on June 11, 2025, by releasing disturbing body-cam footage from the fateful encounter that led to the tragic death of Brandon Moore on April 10, 2025.
The footage was obtained during an investigation by the Office of Special Investigation (OSI), and its public release is a directive from James herself aimed at bolstering transparency in law enforcement matters. It’s clear that the AG’s office is committed to accountability, especially when lives are on the line.
On April 10th, NYSP troopers and SCSO officers arrived at an apartment complex in Malta, Saratoga County following a domestic dispute call. The scene was fraught as Moore, armed with what appeared to be a handgun, pointed it towards law enforcement officers. In the tense standoff that ensued, both sides discharged their weapons, ultimately leading to Moore’s death.
Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Section 70-b, OSI thoroughly examined this incident. The law dictates that any police officer or peace officer, on-duty or off-duty, who may have caused a person’s death must be investigated. This case is no exception; OSI has launched a full-fledged investigation into the shooting.
It’s crucial to note that the release of the footage does not indicate any opinion regarding guilt or innocence and should not be taken as an indication of potential charges against any individual involved. The public is being warned: this video contains disturbing content that some viewers may find difficult to watch.
The grim footage is set to spark further debate on police use of force, transparency in law enforcement, and the ongoing quest for justice in the wake of Moore’s tragic death.
