OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY OF JABARI LATRELL PEOPLES
On the night of June 23, 2025, at approximately 9:30 PM, our loved one, Jabari Latrell Peoples, was shot and killed by an officer affiliated with law enforcement in Homewood, Alabama, near Lakeshore Blvd.
At no point were we notified by law enforcement or medical personnel.
Instead, our family was contacted by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office at 10:00 AM the following morning — over 12 hours after Jabari was pronounced dead.
By the time we were contacted:
• His body had already been transported.
• An autopsy had been conducted without our knowledge or consent.
• And we were instructed to send a funeral home to retrieve him.
We were denied the right to identify him.
We were denied the right to be present.
We were denied basic dignity.
⸻
Contrary to reports and assumptions being pushed publicly:
• Jabari was not armed.
• He was not aggressive.
• He did not resist.
• He complied.
He was approached by an individual in an unmarked vehicle, with no lights, no sirens, and no visible identification. That officer exited the car, tapped on the window, and told the occupants to exit.
They followed directions.
Jabari complied — and within seconds, he was taken to the ground and shot.
A witness was present. That person saw everything.
There was no weapon. There was no threat.
And once Jabari was shot, the officer took no life-saving action.
No CPR. No medical attention. Nothing.
He was left to bleed out on the street.
⸻
Jabari was a college student. He had a family. He had a future.
He was unarmed. He complied. And now he’s gone.
We have not received a full incident report.
We have not been given footage.
We have not heard one word of explanation from the Homewood Police Department.
But we have heard the lies.
We’ve read the headlines — and we’ve watched attempts to twist this narrative.
Let us be clear:
This was not just negligence. It was a violation.
Of Jabari’s civil rights.
Of our family’s human rights.
Of due process.
And of decency.
⸻
We are demanding:
• Immediate public release of the full police report
• All available body cam and dash cam footage
• Identification of the officer involved
• A full, independent investigation
• Accountability at every level
We will pursue this case until the truth is fully exposed and justice is served — not only for Jabari, but for every family who’s been forced to bury a loved one without answers.
⸻
Say his name: Jabari Latrell Peoples.
His life mattered. His death will not be ignored.
And his story will not be rewritten.
