The family of Kumanjayi White, a 24-year-old Indigenous man, has launched legal action following a decision not to charge the police officers involved in his death. Mr. White died in May 2025 after being restrained by two plain-clothes police officers inside a supermarket in Alice Springs.
The incident, which occurred in the store's confectionery aisle, has prompted national outrage and calls for an independent investigation into the circumstances of his death. The legal challenge seeks to contest the official decision to clear the officers of criminal charges, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding deaths in custody within Australia.
