In December 2023, a Mobile Police Department SWAT officer fatally shot 16-year-old Randall Adjessom during a no-knock, predawn raid on his home. The raid was part of an investigation into Adjessom’s older brother. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and police department, alleging that Adjessom was shot four times within 11 seconds of the officers’ entry, despite retreating and raising his hands upon realizing he was confronting law enforcement. The lawsuit claims the officers delayed medical assistance and failed to inform the family about the shooting for hours.
