Moments after Austin police burst into apartment #821 with a sledgehammer, they realized they had the wrong place.

This wasn’t the home of a woman who had called 911, afraid of her abusive husband. This was the home of a 79-year-old grandmother with two small kids, ages 3 and 5, who were terrified when officers barged into their Southeast Austin apartment around 11 p.m. one night in June 2024.

It was an honest mistake. Software led officers to the wrong door. The elderly woman inside the apartment, a Nigerian immigrant who speaks little English, called her son, Eniekenimi Seifere, who raced home from his late shift as a patient care technician at an assisted living facility.

Seifere’s broken door led him to the city’s broken system for addressing property damage caused by police. Austin’s Law Department categorically refuses to pay for such damage to buildings — even when officers kick in the wrong door, break an innocent neighbor’s fence or leave a victim without a door that locks.
