Doug Martin’s parents have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Oakland, California, police, alleging excessive force and delayed medical care led to their son’s death in October 2022. Martin, a former NFL running back and Pro Bowler, died in police custody at 36 after struggling during a mental health crisis. The lawsuit claims officers held him face down and failed to promptly call for medical help, resulting in his unresponsiveness. The Oakland police stated that the investigation is ongoing. The family is also awaiting autopsy and CTE test results to understand the circumstances surrounding his death.
