The New York State Attorney General's Office released bodycam video of a Wappingers Falls police-involved shooting that left a Dutchess County teen dead.

The footage captures 17-year-old Oscar Granadoa Colindres' final moments on the morning of June 27. According to police scanner traffic, a call for a possible "suicidal subject with a knife" led officers to Wappingers Creek Bridge.

The bodycam video shows these officers attempting to talk to Granadoa-Colindres and deescalate the sitation for around 50 minutes, while the teen grasps a knife.

Granadoa-Colindres later stands up and moves toward the officers with the blade in hand. Moments later, multiple officers open fire, striking Granadoa-Colindre.

Paramedics rushed the teen to the hospital, where he died.

Granadoa-Colindres' family and friends spoke out just days after the tragedy, demanding answers about what happened and how the situation escalated to gunfire.

"Because people are saying all kinds of things," said a family friend, Juana Rubio, in Spanish. "One story and then another. We really want to see [the footage] from the camera, the officer's camera, so we can know what really happened."

Granadoa-Colindres' loved ones were finally able to view his final moments on Wednesday night and released a joint statement with his lawyer on Thursday morning.

His family says the release of the bodycam footage is a crucial step toward transparency but they continue to beg the question: "Why did an encounter intended to save Oscar’s life end with officers shooting him to death?"

Granadoa-Colindres' mother says she believes her son would have survived if trained crisis intervention professionals responded to the scene instead of police.

The AG's office say the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
