Dequan Randolph, a 30-year-old African American man from Bradenton, Florida, was fatally shot on November 3, 2016. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office found Randolph deceased after a call that morning. Witnesses identified Derrick Frazier as the shooter; Frazier at first denied being at the scene and later gave changing accounts, ultimately saying Randolph pulled a gun on him and a struggle ensued.

Prosecutors charged Frazier with second-degree murder and he was held without bail. Randolph’s wife, Rosemary Randolph, publicly criticized the legal outcome after Frazier received a seven-year prison sentence, calling it insufficient given her family’s loss.
