Year	Description	Outcome
2024	In July 2024, a federal judge ordered the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to pay $2 million to the family of Jonathan Randell, who was fatally shot by Tulsa Police officers during a mental health episode. On August 8, 2020, eight Tulsa Police officers responded to a call about a man attempting to scale a fence at a transitional living facility. During the encounter, officers informed Randell that he could not leave due to an outstanding “weak felony warrant” related to a 2017 incident. Randell became visibly upset and agitated, and he pulled out a knife. A mental health specialist attempted to intervene, but Randell began cutting himself with the knife. Officers fired pepper balls and beanbags in an attempt to stop the self-harm. When Randell threw the knife, officers opened fire and killed him. The subsequent civil rights lawsuit alleged that Randell sustained more than fifty gunshot wounds. Officers Cody Riley, William Shanks, Tyler Butler, Justin McRee, and Branton Miller remained employed by the Tulsa Police Department as of July 2024, while three others involved had left the department. Miller was the only officer disciplined, receiving a 120-hour unpaid suspension.
