OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 24, 2025, officers at the Wichita Police Department’s North Patrol Substation were confronted by Nehemiah C. Flemming, a 19-year-old male reportedly in mental distress. Flemming approached an officer in the parking lot and inquired about police use-of-force policies, specifically about shooting individuals with guns. Without warning, Flemming then pulled a firearm and pointed it directly at the officer. The officer immediately took cover as two nearby officers quickly opened fire to neutralize the threat.
Flemming was struck multiple times and rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Despite medical efforts, he died shortly afterward. Investigators stated Flemming had made suicidal statements prior to the incident and was experiencing a significant mental health crisis at the time. A second male, who had been with Flemming at the scene, fled during the chaos but was later detained without incident.
This incident has sparked renewed attention on how police handle encounters with individuals experiencing mental health emergencies. The Wichita Police Department is actively investigating the shooting, reviewing body cam footage, and coordinating with mental health professionals to evaluate procedural responses.

Location : Bethel community

City : Cullman

County : Cullman

State : Alabama

Agency : Cullman County Sheriff's Office

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed during attempted arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 19, 2025, Cullman County deputies mobilized to serve a warrant in the rural Bethel community. Deputies were directed to the basement via an exterior entryway and made their presence known before locating the occupant barricaded behind a closed door.
Police announced the warrant and demanded the occupant open the door. The man reportedly resisted and declared his intent to use a firearm. Upon entry, deputies encountered him armed with a loaded shotgun. Officers fired a single round, striking the man. The man was transported to a hospital and died during arrest under unknown circumstances.
Cullman County District Attorney Champ Crocker reviewed body camera footage, ballistic evidence, and other materials, and formally ruled the shooting “justified,” stating the deputies acted as trained when confronting a deadly threat. He has recommended confirmation of that decision to a grand jury.
