How they died
Deadly force
Emantic "EJ" Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. was at the mall on Thanksgiving when a shooting occurred. The shooter fled after wounding an 18-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl. Bradford had a license to carry a firearm and was helping people escape when two off-duty police officers moonlighting as mall security responded. Bradford was brandishing a handgun, and one of the officers, mistaking Bradford the shooter, shot him three times in the back, killing him. No verbal warning was given. The officer was cleared of criminal wrongdoing, but Bradford's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the officer and the city.
