Bail Set at $1 Million for Las Vegas Home Invasion Suspect Alejandra Boudreaux

LAS VEGAS, NV — Bail has been set at $1 million for Alejandra Boudreaux, the 26-year-old suspect charged in connection with a violent home invasion that ultimately led to the fatal police shooting of homeowner Brandon Durham.

During a high-profile court appearance in Las Vegas, prosecutors argued that Boudreaux posed a severe danger to the community and a significant flight risk, detailing her aggressive actions during the break-in. Defense attorneys pointed to Boudreaux's mental health issues in an attempt to secure lower bail, which the judge ultimately denied.

Severe Charges Imposed

Under Nevada law, Boudreaux faces a series of felony charges including home invasion, child abuse, and murder. The murder charge stems from the legal doctrine that allows an individual to be prosecuted for a death that occurs during the commission of a felony, even if the fatal blow was delivered by responding law enforcement.

The family of Brandon Durham continues to seek accountability from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department regarding the officer's split-second decision to shoot the homeowner during the physical struggle.
