Suspect fires gun inches from Cop's Head

This compilation of bodycam and traffic cam footage covers an incident which occurred on 22 June, 2025, in Rochester, New York. As the police attempt to apprehend a suspect wanted for murder, he draws and fires a handgun close to an officer's ear and is shot in return by another officer. Although all parties survived this Officer Involved Shooting, viewer discretion remains advised. Edison Estremera-Cohen, 35 years of age, was wanted for shooting and killing someone earlier in the day. Rochester officers encountered the suspect on a bicycle. The intent to stop the bike is probably why the officers closed with and went hands-on with Estremera-Cohen, despite considering him to be armed and dangerous with a known criminal history. Whether it was a calculated risk or not, it proved to be a mistake. The suspect drew a 9-millimeter handgun and fired it so close to an officer's head that despite the bullet missing, the officer still sustained injuries from the muzzle blast. A second officer returned fire and dropped Estremera-Cohen. Despite his several gunshot wounds, thanks to immediate care and rapid transport, Estremera-Cohen survived and was booked four days later for two counts of Murder 2, Attempted Murder of a Police Officer (Aggravated), Armed Robbery, and four counts of criminally possessing a firearm.
