Surveillance video shows Irvo Otieno, a 28-year-old Black man, being pinned to the floor by security officers at a state mental health facility before his death
The video offers further details of the final moments of Otieno, a 28-year-old Black man who died March 6 as he was transferred from a Henrico County jail to Central State Hospital, according to Dinwiddie County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ann Cabell Baskervill. Seven sheriff’s deputies and three hospital employees have been charged with second-degree murder. In a hearing last week for the charges against the deputies, Baskerville told the court, “They smothered him to death.
Police officers – along with the county’s crisis intervention team – put him under an emergency custody order due to their interactions with and observations of him, police said. According to Virginia law, a person can be placed under an emergency custody order when there is reason to believe they could hurt themselves or others as a result of mental illness.
