The NYPD on Thursday released body camera footage showing two cops shooting a parolee dead after he fatally shot a rival in the East Village. It happened around 3:40 a.m. on January 9 at Avenue A and East 7th Street, near the southwest corner of Tompkins Square Park.

Segments of the seven-minute video show Police Officers Liam Murphy and Christopher McLaughlin opening fire on ex-con Earl Facey, who once did time in prison for a shooting in Brooklyn.

Facey, 37, was killed moments after shooting Richard Reid, 41, on Avenue A and E. Seventh St., just outside of Tompkins Square Park, about 3:30 a.m. Jan. 9.

The footage shows Facey walking away from the two cops, his .22-caliber pistol still in his hand, when they jump out of their squad car with guns drawn. Police say Facey had turned and raised his pistol at the cops before shots were fired.

Facey and Reid were both gang members with multiple arrests on their records but didn’t know each other until they started arguing at the hookah bar nightclub Hayaty.

When the fight spilled out onto the street, both Facey and Reid pulled guns and shot at each other, surveillance footage recovered by police shows. Facey shot Reid both, once in the chest and the thigh.
