How they died
Less-than-lethal force
An officer alleged Elijah McClain tried to reach for another officer's gun after they confronted McClain for wearing a black ski mask as he walked down the street. After the altercation, a paramedic injected McClain with the sedative, ketamine, and moments later, McClain went into cardiac arrest. Officers used a carotid hold on McClain that might have caused him to lose consciousness during the scuffle.
