On the evening of March 25, 2014, Alfred Redwine, a 30-year-old African-American man described by his family as mentally ill, was shot and killed by Albuquerque police at a public housing complex at 60th and Central. Police say they responded after a call that Redwine had pointed a gun at two young girls, and that after a roughly 40-minute standoff he exited his apartment and fired a weapon; officers returned fire and later reported finding a revolver at the scene. Officers released body camera footage they said showed Redwine firing.

Family and some witnesses offered a different account. Tammy Redwine said she was on the phone with her brother trying to coax him out. Witnesses said the object in his hand was a cellphone and that he held his hands out with his palms open when he was shot; his sister said he was lowering his hands to drop what she said was a gun at his own head when officers opened fire. Four officers were placed on administrative leave and the officer identified as firing the fatal shot was James Eichel. The district attorney later cleared the officer and no arrests were made.

If anyone knew Redwine or was at 60th and Central that night, does any detail from the standoff or the moments before the shooting add clarity?
