LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Henderson Police Department has released body-worn camera footage following a weekend-long barricade in the city last month.
On April 12 at approximately 11:20 a.m., the HPD Criminal Apprehension Team for Major Violators Unit responded to the 200 block of Callen Falls Avenue in reference to capturing a wanted subject involved in a violent felony case.
