Attorney General releases footage from investigation into death of Mark Kelly

New York Attorney General Letitia James today released police body-worn camera footage that her office obtained as part of its ongoing investigation into the death of Mark Kelly, who died on August 25, 2024 following an encounter with members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) in Manhattan.

At approximately 12:33 a.m. on August 25, NYPD officers encountered Mr. Kelly, who was holding a gun outside of 1875 Third Avenue in East Harlem, Manhattan. During the ensuing interaction, NYPD officers discharged their service weapons, striking Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Officers recovered a loaded gun at the scene.

The Office of Special Investigation (OSI) of the Attorney General’s Office released footage from body-worn cameras that officers were equipped with during the incident. The release of this footage follows Attorney General James’ directive that camera footage obtained by her office during an OSI investigation be released to the public to increase transparency and strengthen public trust in these matters.
