How they died
No
Complainants reported that Oatis, who appeared to be on drugs, had attacked a neighbor, stripped himself naked, kicked a motorcycle and collapsed. Paramedics responded. Senior Corporal Leslie E. Richardson and Apprentice Officer Christopher J. Larue responded. At the request of paramedics, officers handcuffed Oatis. He hardly resisted. Paramedics determined that Oatis had no pulse and sent him to Baylor Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
