At Rest

No
Officers responded to the Golden Nugget Nightclub in reference to 15 to 20 people fighting at the location. Several of the people involved left the location. A short time later, a person believed to have been involved in the altercation, Ismael Maria-Acevedo, was located running and police were able to detain him after a short foot pursuit. While he was being taken into custody it was discovered that he had stopped breathing. Efforts were made to resuscitate him, but officers were unsuccessful. Reportedly no taser, pepper spray nor any other weapons were used by police during the arrest.
This record exists so that Ismael Maria-Acevedo, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
