BWC Video Release

On June 22, 2025, Officers located 35-year old Edison Estremera-Cohen riding a bike on N. Clinton Ave.  Officers had information that he had previously shot and killed David Vazquez at 24 Oscar St, earlier in the day.  During the apprehension, Estremera-Cohen pulled out a 9mm handgun and fired one round in the direction of an Officer from inches away.  A second Officer returned fire, striking Estremera-Cohen multiple times.
