At around 10:30 p.m., Rafael Forbes was one of three men who led Jackson police officers on a chase that ended in a west Jackson neighborhood. Police had reportedly stopped them for erratic driving. Police said when the men began running, officers used tasers to take them into custody. Forbes began showing signs of shortness of breath and was taken to Central Mississippi Medical Center, where he died early the next morning.
