ELIZABETH, New Jersey – Police have released body camera video of the confrontation that led to an officer killing a suspect in New Jersey.

The shooting took place two weeks ago at a home on Amity Street in Elizabeth.

Officers were responding to a 911 call about a relative, 42-year-old Estiben Alegria-Hurtado, showing up at a home drunk and with a knife.

When police arrived at the apartment, the door was open, and Hurtado was scuffling with two other men.

The two men then released Hurtado, but the video shows he’s still armed with a knife and close to a woman.

That’s when an officer fired a single fatal shot, hitting Hurtado in the chest and killing him.

Police are now under fire for not calling a mental health professional to help cool down the confrontation.

The family’s spokesman said on Monday that the gunshot was unnecessary.

No charges have been filed against the officers involved in the shooting, so far.

The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office is currently investigating.
