Las Vegas Police Release Footage of Two Shootings

News summary

Recently released body camera footage has revealed that Officer Levi Hancock did activate his camera after entering Stephen Paddock's suite during the 2017 Mandalay Bay mass shooting, contradicting previous police assertions. The footage, made public after a records request, documents the aftermath of the incident and has prompted questions about the delay in its release. In a separate case, new bodycam videos depict Las Vegas police responding to the June 8, 2025, double homicide of Rodney and Tanisha Finley near the Bellagio Fountains. Officers are shown providing first aid, securing the scene, interviewing witnesses, and tracking Manuel Ruiz, the accused shooter, who later turned himself in. Both cases underscore the importance of police body cameras in documenting major crimes and highlight ongoing scrutiny over transparency in releasing such evidence.
