Justice for Janidi Ibrahim - Support His Young Family After a Tragic Police Killing
On May 22, 2025, at just 19 years old, Janidi Ibrahim was shot and killed by a Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy while seated in a parked car.
He had just graduated high school one week prior. He was a husband, a father to an 11-month-old baby, a beloved son, and a brother. He leaves behind his young wife, who described him with tears in her eyes as “the love of my life.”
According to the Sheriff’s own press release, Janidi was seated inside the vehicle when the deputy approached and made contact he did not flee, he was not armed, and yet he was fatally shot.
His mother, Aunty Halima, was asleep at home after working a night shift having just shared that shift with her son. She asked him to take the trash out before going to bed. That was the last thing she would ever ask of him. She was not even woken as her son lay dying. She found out hours later.
Her words:
“Why… why did they kill him? Why did they kill my Ji? I will never hear him say ‘Ma’ again.”
After sheriff deputies barged into their home, breaking the window glass, broke down the front door, and threw flash bombs. His 15-year-old brother was handcuffed in the chaos
No explanation. No humanity.
Now, his siblings are left grieving the brother who made them laugh, who played video games with them, who protected them in ways only a big brother could.
A home full of memories has now become a place of trauma.
We are devastated.
We are angry.
And we are demanding answers.
