J. Huffaker dismissed and directs this suit to be closed in favor of the county commission, other departments and community in this racial wrongful death claim brought by the father of his decedent. The father alleges the county’s E-911 department failed to provide equal and non-discriminatory services to Black residents after he heard gunshots in the area where the decedent was shot. He fails to show any evidence that the official county policy would hold the commission liable and failed to cure his deficiencies in the original complaint to state a plausible claim to any of the claims.
