FBI kills Baldwin County militia leader

December 17, 2024 – GULF SHORES, AL – a self-proclaimed local militia leader was shot and killed by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who were conducting a search warrant of his home.

A Trump supporter, Randles disregarded the authority of lame duck President Joseph R. Biden (D), and proposed assembling a militia to arrest the local government and police officials he believed are in insurrection. Randles announced that he would then over these officials to a nearby military base while he and the militia awaited orders from President Trump when he assumes office on January 20.

The militia, which was instructed not to act without his orders, would form up on December 15. The 11-page document which was still up on Facebook as of press time today was reported to the FBI who obtained a search warrant. Randles was shot and killed by FBI agents executing the warrant.

On his Facebook, Randles identifies himself as a veteran and the President of the Roadrunner Tire Service in Baldwin County.

Randles also reportedly sent letters addressed to: President Trump, former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), and multi-billionaire Trump supporter Elon Musk.

In his manifesto, Randles did specifically address grievances against the Baldwin County probate court and Alta-Point mental health service.
