SUMMARY: For four years, Alex Randles reported being targeted by a domestic terrorist group that he claimed defamed him, harmed his tire business in Ohio, and infected him with a sexually transmitted disease. His situation culminated in gunfire at his Gulf Shores apartment. Court documents reveal Randles documented his grievances on Facebook, including a hit list of law enforcement and government officials and letters to prominent figures like the President and Elon Musk. A recent mental health evaluation showed he was fit. He called for an “unorganized militia” action on December 15, 2024, but was shot and killed two days prior.

We are learning more about the man killed by an FBI SWAT team Friday in Gulf Shores. Alexander Randles was shot and killed as agents approached him with an arrest and search warrant at his apartment at Traditions Colonial Grands in Gulf Shores.
