* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Cambridge, Massachusetts — On August 21, 2026, shortly before 8 p.m., Cambridge Police Officers responded to a 911 call reporting people loitering in a private parking lot behind 675 Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square. Officers James Nestor and Saimon Teclezghi arrived first, followed by field training officer Donald Conrad and trainee Officer David Kerns. Police recognized two people at the scene and Conrad also recognized 64-year-old William Woodworth, who was sitting inside a Jeep Compass. Conrad had encountered Woodworth during two previous incidents, including one in which a firearm had been recovered and another, about a month before the incident, in which police found crack cocaine and a double-sided machete. During the August 21 encounter, Conrad questioned Woodworth about suspected drug use and ordered him out of the Jeep. As Woodworth began to exit, he reached under the driver's seat and pulled out a .38-caliber revolver. Conrad repeatedly ordered him to leave the gun and put it down, but Woodworth ignored the commands and turned toward Officer Kerns, pointing the firearm at him with both hands. Officer Kerns immediately grabbed Woodworth's arms in an attempt to disarm him. As Woodworth struggled with Officer Kerns, Officer Conrad fired six times through the passenger-side window, with his firearm briefly malfunctioning and ejecting a live round. Officer Nestor, who heard the commotion and saw Woodworth pointing the gun at Officer Kerns, fired one additional shot. Officers then pulled Woodworth from the Jeep and immediately began administering first aid, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy determined that Woodworth suffered five gunshot wounds, including wounds to his head, shoulder and back, while investigators recovered his .38 Special revolver loaded with five live rounds. The entire confrontation from Conrad's initial interaction with Woodworth to the shooting lasted less than 60 seconds. After reviewing the evidence, including body-camera footage, surveillance video, witness statements and ballistic evidence, Cambridge District Court Judge Holly Broadbent concluded that Officer Conrad and Nestor's use of deadly force was objectively reasonable and justified. The judge found that Woodworth had ignored commands to drop the firearm before pointing it directly at Officer Kerns, creating an imminent danger to the officers and nearby civilians, and determined that the officers were not criminally responsible for his death. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters
