Almost five years after Elijah McClain died after being put in a neck hold and injected with the powerful sedative ketamine, three of five Denver-area first responders prosecuted in the Black man’s death have been convicted
Almost five years after Elijah McClain died following a police stop in which he was put in a neck hold and injected with the powerful sedative ketamine, three of the five Denver-area responders prosecuted in the Black man's death have been convicted. Experts say the convictions would have been unheard of before 2020, when George Floyd's murder sparked a nationwide reckoning over racist policing and deaths in police custody.
Prosecutors initially declined to pursue charges related to McClain's death when an autopsy did not determine how he died. But Democratic Gov. Jared Polis ordered the investigation reopened following the 2020 protests against police brutality. The second autopsy said McClain died because he was injected with ketamine after being forcibly restrained.
