NEW YORK — Hours of body camera footage was released Thursday in the fatal police shooting of Najee Seabrooks, a New Jersey anti-violence activist who called 911 during an apparent mental health crisis.
Seabrooks, 31, of Paterson, was shot five hours after police responded to his home on March 3, according to the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, which released redacted footage and 911 calls made by Seabrooks amid its investigation into the deadly incident.
Members of Seabrooks' family told officers he had been"hallucinating and behaving erratically" and may have been"experiencing a bad reaction to something he had smoked," the state attorney general's office said. In 911 calls, Seabrooks can be heard asking for someone to help escort him to his car because he's received threats.
Throughout the incident, additional officers, crisis negotiators, members of the department's emergency response team and emergency medical services responded to the apartment as police and family members attempted to get Seabrooks to come out of the bathroom to receive help, authorities said.
