How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police responded to a 911 call around 4:30 p.m. reporting that an emotionally disturbed man had locked himself inside his bedroom. When they arrived, police tried to get Dwayne Pritchett to come out. Pritchett opened the door, and police reportedly spotted drugs and a gun on the floor. When they attempted to put him in handcuffs, Pritchett allegedly tried to pull a gun from the holster of one of the officers. When officers gained control of Pritchett and pulled him from the bedroom, they handcuffed him and he lost consciousness and died.
