The family of a man gunned down by police after a four-hour siege deny he was armed with a knife and are demanding body-cam footage be released.

Officers were called to a home in Mareeba, 65km west of Cairns, at around 11.30 on Saturday morning after receiving reports of a domestic violence incident and threats of self-harm.

Aubrey Donahue, 27, spoke with police negotiators who allege there was a woman also inside the Love Street home and that he refused to let her leave.

Tactical officers gained entry to the home at 3.30pm and claim they opened fire on Mr Donahue when he came at them with a knife.

But relative Victoria Van Schie is disputing those claims.
