In 2019, Officer Aric Mitchell fatally shot Jamarcus Moore following a high-speed chase. Moore, who had a warrant for his arrest, attempted to flee when Officer Mitchell used excessive force by shooting him and injuring passenger Samantha Hardin. The incident led to a $750,000 settlement approved by the Birmingham City Council in 2025, offering closure to Moore’s family and Hardin without admitting liability.
