The family of Kumanjayi White, a 24-year-old Aboriginal man who died on 27 May 2025 after being restrained by plainclothes police officers in a Coles supermarket in Alice Springs (a remote city in Australia's Northern Territory), has filed legal action in the NT Supreme Court after authorities declined to press charges against the officers involved. The family's lawyer argues they are entitled under the Northern Territory Victims of Crime Charter to be told who made the decision not to prosecute and on what grounds, but have received no such explanation following the NT director of public prosecutions' ruling that there were "no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution." White's grandfather, Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves, said the family has been denied transparency at every stage and will continue to push for a genuinely independent investigation; a formal inquest into the death is not scheduled to begin until April 2027.
