13:51Now PlayingA Kentucky family is demanding answers to why their loved one in crisis died by a cop's bullet.
Saturday, October 22, Desman LaDuke was in a mental health crisis. According to reports, police were called because he threatened to harm himself.
It took his aunt about an hour to get to the scene. When she arrived, cops from the Nicholasville, Kentucky Police Department with drawn guns and assault rifles surrounded the house.
The video we are about to show you was recorded by a neighbor moments before an officer fired through the home, striking Desman in the chest.
The story from the police is that when officers arrived, they were confronted by an armed individual when they entered the home.
We spoke to his aunt, Melissa Marks about the tragic shooting. She declined our invitation to appear on the show as they prepare for Desman's funeral.
