OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Orange County Sheriff’s gang unit deputies were conducting surveillance on a house with multiple people being under surveillance for possible gang-related activity. Tristan Mayberry, 19, left the house with a gun according to police who escalated a confrontation at a nearby gas Seven Eleven station. Police claim that Mayberry made a "suspicious motion" and they shot and killed him. Bodycam is linked below and only shows him in a convenience store, committing no crimes, defensively walking away from an aggressive cop with a gun pointed at his head. A second officer corners him and he is shot and killed in the middle. Police stated that he had a gun or pointed a gun in various forms but this is not seen on BWC. A teenager walking away from an aggressive officer in a store is all that is visible. It is unlikely that police cut away any footage proving he held a gun. The bodycam is linked below.

Sumner Howard

Age :67

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 07/09/2024

Location : Old Shell Road and Mobile Infirmatory

City : Mobile

County : Mobile

State : Alabama

Agency : Mobile Police Department

Officer(s) : Roy Adams Jr.

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Motorcyclist killed by police vehicle crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

An officer 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.

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.
