Horton & Mendez Represents Longtime Landfall Security Officer Injured at Independence Day Celebration

July 28, 2026

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Horton & Mendez Injury Attorneys represents Russell James, a longtime security officer who has faithfully served the Landfall community for decades, following an incident that occurred during Landfall’s Independence Day fireworks celebration on July 3.

Mr. James has long been a familiar and trusted presence in the community, known for his dedication to helping keep residents and visitors safe. As he focuses on his recovery, attorneys Devlin Horton and Alan Castro are honored to stand alongside him and his family.

“Russell has spent years serving the Landfall community with professionalism and care,” said attorney Devlin Horton. “We are committed to protecting his interests and providing the support and guidance he needs throughout this process.”

Because this is an active legal matter, Horton & Mendez will not be commenting further at this time. We appreciate the outpouring of support from the community and respectfully ask that Mr. James and his family be afforded privacy as he continues his recovery.
