OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On December 3, 2024, at approximately 6:45 p.m., Bozeman Police Department (BPD) officers responded to a trespassing complaint at a local business, where a man was reportedly attempting to start a fight and had previously assaulted an employee. Upon arrival, officers were unable to locate the man but confirmed his identity via surveillance footage. Recognizing him from prior interactions, officers proceeded to his residence in the 400 block of South 20th Avenue.
.
At around 7:00 p.m., officers arrived at the residence and attempted to make contact. Despite efforts, including communication through an upstairs window, he did not respond. Officers then breached the door and observed him holding a firearm. Police retreated and requested assistance from local agencies and the joint Bozeman Police and Gallatin County Sheriff's Office Special Response Team (SRT). Streets were closed, and neighboring homes were evacuated to ensure public safety.
.
Over the next 27 hours, crisis negotiators from Bozeman, Billings, Lewis & Clark County, and Gallatin Mobile Crisis engaged in communication attempts with the man. On the evening of December 4, communication ceased. Officers entered the residence and found the man deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No shots were fired by officers during the standoff, and there were no reported injuries to emergency personnel or civilians.
.
The Division of Criminal Investigation is conducting an independent investigation, and the Park County Coroner’s Office will release the deceased's identity.

Rhyker Earl

Age :26

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 09/08/2024

Location : Bahama Drive, Island Grove Mobile Home Park

City : DeMotte

County : Jasper

State : Indiana

Agency : Jasper County Sheriff’s Office

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Asphyxiation

Event : Asphyxiated by police during seizure

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 09/08/2024, 26-year-old Rhyker Earl experienced a seizure at his residence on Bahama Drive in the Island Grove Mobile Home Park, DeMotte, Indiana. His grandmother called 911 for medical assistance. Jasper County Sheriff's deputies and paramedics arrived on the scene.
.
While in a postictal state—a period of confusion following a seizure—Earl reportedly became agitated. Family members stated that during this state, Earl accidentally bumped into a responder. In response, deputies restrained Earl by pinning him face-down on the floor and handcuffing his hands behind his back. Body camera footage shows Earl pleading for relief, saying, "Grandma, please, make 'em get off of me."
.
Approximately two minutes after Earl stopped moving, first responders noticed he wasn't breathing. They initiated CPR and transported him to a hospital, where he was placed on life support. Earl died two days later, on 09/10/2024.
.
The Lake County Coroner's autopsy determined that Earl died of natural causes with no evidence of trauma. However, Earl's family disputes this finding, asserting that the restraint methods used by deputies contributed to his death. They have retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump and are calling for transparency and accountability, including the release of all body camera footage.
.
The Indiana State Police are conducting an ongoing investigation into the incident.

Sumner Howard

Age :67

Gender :Male

Race : Native Pacific Islander

Date : 07/09/2024

Location : Old Shell Road and Mobile Infirmary

City : Mobile

County : Mobile

State : Alabama

Agency : Mobile Police Department

Officer(s) : Roy Adams Jr.

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Motorcycle driver killed by police vehicle crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Mobile PD Officer Roy Adams drove across an intersection and ran a red light with allegedly blue lights on but no siren at 11 p.m. and pulled into the path of a motorcycle. The police vehicle caused Sumner Howard to crash his motorcycle, killing him. Fox10 pulled the crash report and found that a brick building to the right blocks the view of any approaching cars from the south, which means Howard likely never saw the police car. It had no sirens and Howard very likely was completely unaware of the police car that ran the red light and suddenly blocked his lane.
.
The intersection has a known blind spot. Police allege that he was speeding through red lights because he was on an “emergency call” but did not disclose what emergency they were chasing. The lack of sirens late at night was also not explained by MPD.
.
Mobile PD finally disclosed that the officer was Roy Adams Jr. This was the fourth crash he has caused in 2024 alone. Two of the crashes occurred on the same day separately. Another crash happened when he fell asleep while driving his patrol car. Another crash happened when he was seen running a stop sign. The final crash occurred on 7/9/2024 during which he killed Sumner Howard. Local media report that after all these crashes, he is still on patrol but he is no longer driving.
.
This is the second motorcyclist killed in Mobile in 2024 by negligent MPD officers. The first case, motorcyclist Robert Sayen who was killed by MPD while riding a motorcycle, is currently before a grand jury. The officer in the Sayen crash was Callegari.

Temple PD were sent to the 900 block of South 9th Street in Temple for a report of a suicidal man with a gun. Hartley allegedly had a gun and locked himself into a mobile home with police arrived. Police brought a drone and escalated a standoff. Hartley under pressure allegedly fired a shot at a drone that appeared at his window. Police claim he pointed a gun or fired a shot at an officer also. Police shot and killed him through the window of his home while he was inside. There is no record of any mental health help having been sent instead of a militarized standoff that led to his predictable death.

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash as part of Operation Lone Star

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

A Border Patrol agent from the Las Cruces Station responded in a Mobile Video Surveillance System truck, along with another agent in a marked vehicle and a K9 handler in an unmarked unit.The K9 unit tried to traffic-stop the vehicle. At least 2 CBP units chased the vehicle. The agents admitted that they turned off their lights and sirens due to bad weather. The logic of this explanation is not clear. Police allege they briefly lost sight of the vehicle and found it crashed. This is a common explanation in police hunting migrants and other vehicles as it shifts responsibility away from officers who “lose” a vehicle they are chasing moments before a fatal crash. One Guatemalan woman died in the crash. This fatality happened as part of an Operation Lone Star migrant hunt.

Event : Killed by police during mental health disturbance

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Two Mobile PD officers were sent to a vacant home because a man was walking on the roof. Police talked him off the roof and allege that he suddenly pulled a shotgun with a pistol grip. They shot and killed him. It is highly unlikely that BWC will be released because Alabama has virtually abolished open records laws and transparency in 9/2022.

Bystanders commented that cops escalated "too quickly."

His mother had petitioned the court several days before his death to have him sent to an inpatient mental health program due to bizarre behavior and a known history of schizophrenia but did not get help in time.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

***UPDATE 10/26/2023: The family has gathered a national team of human rights lawyers and they are demanding that Mobile PD allow them to view bodycam video, give them the shooter officers' names and other key evidence the family has been entirely deprived of under the excuse that the information is confidential and may be viewed by a grand jury only. The family states that they were not allowed to view the body, read the autopsy and they just discovered on 10/24/2023, that the shooter officers who murdered Jawan Dallas have quietly been cleared and are back at work while the family is not allowed to learn their names.

OFFICIAL NARRATIVE:
According to Mobile PD, about 9:46 p.m. Sunday, their officers responded to a residential burglary in progress at 5413 Carol Plantation Road, within the Plantation Mobile Home Park where they encountered 2 men. One of the men, 36-year-old Jawan Dallas, resisted, was tasered an unknown number of times and died.
