How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Unarmed and apparently blameless teen Mitchell, physically slight, bolted from police at a traffic stop. Police chased for two blocks into an abandoned house and shot him just once with the Taser to get him to comply. It killed him. As part of their settlement with the family the Warren police agreed to suspend their use of Tasers.
