New York Police Shot & Killed Woman After She Drew Knife On Them While Responding To Domestic Dispute

New York police shot and killed a woman after she drew a knife on them while they were responding to a domestic dispute in Dutchess County, newly released bodycam footage shows.

The tense footage of the April 29, 2022, killing of Jamie Feith was released by the state Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation on Tuesday as the #NYPD looks into the police shooting.

At the time of the shooting, Feith, 34, lived with her partner and their three young boys in Hyde Park, a town nearly two hours north of Manhattan, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported.

Police were called to the couple’s home after receiving a report of physical domestic violence and were initially able to de-escalate the conflict between Feith and her partner, who has not been named.

As Hyde Park police officers Joshua Kemlage and Bryan Sweeney and state Trooper Christopher Miller spoke with Feith following the conflict, she armed herself with a knife and attempted to stab the officers, according to state police.

Throughout the scruffle, Feith’s partner, who is being held by an officer out of the camera’s view, yells, “Don’t f—— shoot her” as Kemlage fires a third and fourth shot. The partner can be heard repeatedly exclaiming “No” before shouting, “What the f—. What the f—. Get off of her. Get off of her.”

The video ends shortly after Feith’s partner yells at the officers not to kill him. Feith was pronounced dead at the scene. The attorney general’s investigation is ongoing.
