Christopher Jones

Gender : Male

Age : 25

Race : Black

Date : 10/02/2023

Location : Glenwood St

City : Mobile

County : Mobile

State : Alabama

Agency : Mobile PD

Officer(s) :Unknown

Cause of Death : Gunshot

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.
