As the holiday season approaches, a wave of melancholy washes over families who have lost loved ones—and for Jenice Adjessom, the absence of her brother Randall has been particularly profound. Just a year after the tragic police raid that claimed the life of her 16-year-old sibling, she grapples with the harsh reality of a Christmas without him. Randall, described as kind, gentle, and deeply loved, is a reminder of how fragile life can be, especially during a time meant for joy and celebration. With the family now embroiled in a federal lawsuit against the Mobile police, they seek not just justice but a spotlight on the mounting issues surrounding police violence. The recent spate of fatal encounters raises the question—can we ever truly celebrate when justice feels so out of reach? This holiday season, as some decorate trees and unwrap gifts, others are left reflecting on lives lost and the pursuit of fairness in a world overshadowed by grief. LEARN MORE
” The older sister of a teenager who died during a police raid last year said Monday that the holidays are particularly difficult without him.
“I still can’t believe Randall is gone,” said Jenice Adjessom, whose family filed a federal lawsuit against Mobile and unnamed police officers. “I won’t be celebrating Christmas with (him). He was so kind, so gentle. We loved him, and he loved us beyond belief.”
The suit, which seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, alleges that police officers were unjustified in shooting 16-year-old Randall Adjessom in his home on Sheringham Drive on Nov. 13 last year. Mobile officials declined to comment Monday, but the city has maintained that Adjessom was armed with a laser-sighted pistol and pointed it at police.
Jenice Adjessom said her brother was smart, resourceful, selfless and caring.
“Randall should be alive today,” she said. “We are seeking justice in Randall’s name, and pray through the courts, we can get help stop the senseless police attacks.”
The incident was the fourth violent encounter in 2023 involving police officers that resulted in a death. It prompted Mayor Sandy Stimpson to order a halt to predrawn raids in all but extraordinary circumstances.
The others were:
A March 7, 2023, raid at a house in the 800 block of Charles Street that resulted in the shooting death of 24-year-old Kordell Jones. Police were investigating a robbery and were searching for a suspect, Jason Jones. The SWAT team surrounded the house and shot Jones’ brother as he climbed out of a window with a gun. A federal suit is pending in that case.
A July 2, 2023, incident in which officers got into a confrontation with a Theodore resident named Jawan Dallas during a burglary investigation off of Carol Plantation Road. He died after police used a Taser gun, although the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office concluded that was not the cause of death. A lawsuit also is pending in that case” – Fox10 News | Posted by Thrillz
