Ellen Barrett filed a civil complaint against the City of Carmel and several police officers after her son, James Marshall, was shot and killed by officers during a mental health crisis. Barrett had called the police for assistance, unaware that a crisis intervention team would not respond. On October 25, after reports of a man brandishing what looked like a rifle, officers arrived and used beanbag rounds. When Marshall lunged at the officers, they fired lethal shots, even after he was down, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that Carmel police officers used excessive force during an altercation with Ellen Barrett's son, James Marshall, during a mental health crisis.
A crisis intervention team failed to respond to Barrett's call on October 25, despite past effectiveness with Marshall, who had bipolar disorder.
