‘What Are We Going to Do With This?’: Alabama Cops Shoot Black Boy In Raid Before Allegedly Stepping Over His Body to Terrorize Other Relatives While Looking for Brother Who Did Not Live At Home

It was over eight grams of marijuana that Alabama police conducted a no-knock, pre-dawn raid on a Black family last year, shooting a 16-year-old boy before stepping over his body as he lay withering in pain from his injuries to terrorize the other family members in the household. “What are we going to do with this?” a Mobile police officer asked the other cops in an apparent reference to the dying teenager on the floor on Nov. 13, 2023, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court last week. What they did not do was allow paramedics to transport Randall Adjessom to the local hospital – which was about eight minutes away – until almost an hour later, when he was pronounced dead.  “As a result of Police Officer Defendants’ shooting of the minor and their failure to render his timely aid, Randall died,” states the lawsuit filed by the national law firm Grant & Eisenhofer. “Randall’s death was both preventable and foreseeable.” Randall Adjessom was 16 years old when he was shot and killed by Mobile police in Alabama during a raid in which they were looking for his brother, who did not even live at the house.
