Police officers in Farmington, New Mexico, shot Robert Dotson after turning up at the wrong address while responding to a domestic violence call.
Police had mistakenly gone to Dotson's home instead of one across the street where the incident was reported at around 11:30 p.m. local time. Citing body camera footage, state police said in a news release on April 6 that Dotson had opened his door armed with a handgun as officers backed away from the residence. The officers opened fire, striking Dotson.
The lawyer added that Dotson"abruptly swung the door open" with a gun. The officers drew their weapons, ordered Dotson to put his hands up, but he ignored their commands and"pointed his gun directly at Officer Wasson." Robles wrote that Dotson's death was a tragedy, but added that it was important to remember that no one forced Mr. and Mrs. Dotson to point guns at the officers.
The officers"callously murdered" Dotson without justification, Northam and Mark Reichel, another family attorney, wrote in their statement. When they knocked on the door, their announcement"was not loud," the attorneys wrote. When the officer asked dispatch to call the house,"no phone is heard ringing; no sound is heard at all."
They added:"Let's be clear on what we must all agree on at this point: the homeowner was not opening his door was the officers 'we in the process of verifying the address.' That is a false statement that the FPD intentionally crafts in an attempt to mislead."
