An amended federal civil lawsuit provides the names of the two Mobile police officers whose encounter with a 36-year-old Black man more than 13 months ago resulted in his untimely death and contributed to an intense fallout within the leadership of the Mobile Police Department.

The filing comes in the wrongful death lawsuit seeking $36 million in damages for the family of 36-year-old Jawan Dallas. It’s a change from the original December 2023, lawsuit in that it now names Police Officers Jarred Hutto and Christian Davilla as defendants along with the City of Mobile. Hutto and Davilla were the two officers who encountered Dallas on July 2, 2023, in Theodore, according to the filing.

The Dallas family, represented by a host of civil rights attorneys, released a statement Thursday saying that the amended complaint was in response to media inquiries to include the names of the police officers. Mobile city officials, and the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office, have refused to release the names in the past.

“This amendment was made in keeping with our commitment to transparency and we firmly believe the lawsuit speaks for itself as we continue the fight for justice on behalf of Jawan Dallas’ family and his memory,” the statement reads.

Mobile city officials and the Mobile Police Department declined to comment. A police spokesperson confirmed that Hutto and Davilla remain employed within the department and are on-duty officers.

Republican Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood, who announced last November that a grand jury concluded in its investigation that nothing was done illegally during the encounter with Dallas, also declined comment. A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said the suit falls outside the agency’s prosecutorial function.

Blackwood, last November, said an autopsy report showed that Dallas died from “underlying medical conditions” and not through any actions — including Tasing — that occurred by police while they attempted to detain Dallas on July 2, 2023.

The amended case, like the original case filed in December, is in the Southern District of Alabama in Mobile and it alleges Mobile police oversaw an unconstitutional policy allowing police to demand identification cards/driver’s licenses from people who are not suspected of a crime. The lawsuit, much like the original one, blames the police that was overseen by former Police Chief Paul Prine as the “driving force” and “catalyst” that led to Dallas’ unlawful detention and ultimately which led to his death.

Prine, who was fired as police chief on April 30, declined to comment.

The case also alleges – like the one last December – that police violated Dallas’ constitutional rights that protect people from illegal searches and seizures, and claims police used unlawful force against him.

The biggest difference in the amended case and the one filed last December is that it names the names of the officers involved. The two officers were referred to as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 in the original December filing.

The amended version also accuses Hutto and Davilla of using excessive force against Dallas because of “their lack of skills or carelessness” and that their actions “fell below that response which a skilled or proficient officer would exercise in similar circumstances.”

Those same concerns were raised in a report released in May by former federal prosecutor Kenyen Brown. The Brown report, which Prine has since denounced, listed the Dallas case as among those that he felt illustrated problems within the agency over use of force by police officers.

Dallas died during his encounter with Hutto and Davilla, who arrived at the scene after receiving a 911 call about a trespassing.

The fatal encounter began after Dallas attempted to flee the duo after he was reportedly asked to provide a photo ID. According to the lawsuit, there was no “reasonable suspicion” that Dallas was responsible for the incident in which police arrived to investigate.

Dallas was tackled to the ground by Davilla, the court record shows. He was then struck by a Taser, handcuffed, and treated in an “unacceptable way,” by police, according to Brown.

Dallas, according to Brown and the federal lawsuit, was in distress while he was being arrested, and stated he could not breathe due to having asthma. The lawsuit claims Dallas was not given appropriate medical care. He died while he was being transported by EMTs who, according to the lawsuit, did not take Dallas’ pleas for assistance seriously.

The attorneys representing the Dallas family, after getting to review the police-worn body camera footage of the altercation last year, compared the Dallas death to that of George Floyd, the Black man whose killing in 2020 while in police custody on a Minneapolis street ignited protests across the country over police brutality and racial injustice.

The body camera footage into Dallas’ death has not been released publicly, and the media has been denied requests to view it.
