911 call details released in Albany officer-involved shooting

It happened two weeks ago, and the family has pointed the finger at the police, questioning why they were even there in the first place.

Now NewsChannel 13 is getting details of the 911 call the night of the shooting.

Subrina Dhammi was granted permission to listen to it, but was not allowed to record it, so she transcribed it.

This is the 911 call that first police brought to the home, at 117 Morris Street on January 24. It was about 12:45 in the morning.

Albany police have said the reason their officers were out in the area was because of a 911 call for a home invasion.

They’ve said during the course of that investigation, they came across Jordan Young a couple blocks away.

NewsChannel 13 showed you body cam video of the officer calling back to the station, saying Young had a knife to a dog’s neck. In the video, it looks like Young sprints at the officers with the knife in his hand.

Young’s family said last week they never made that call. They say there never was a home invasion.

In the 911 call NewsChannel 13 listened to, the person on the other end identifies himself as Xavier Young, and says he feels his life is in danger.

Hear the details of the call, by watching the video of Subrina Dhammi’s story.
