The agencies said releasing the existence of an ongoing investigation is done only when it is in “the best interest of the public and public safety.”An Aurora police representative said they would have no comment while the federal investigation was ongoing. Police subdued him, even though he was not suspected of committing a crime, and applied a carotid neck hold on him as McClain said repeatedly that he could not breathe, according to audio recordings released by police.A local district attorney declined to file charges against police or the paramedics, citing an inconclusive autopsy.
