Dashaun H. Pearson

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Officers Alan T. Holmes, Jr. and Christopher A. Gober learned that paramedics need assistance with Pearson, described as a combative patient who lay on an apartment floor, flailing, kicking and screaming. He was handcuffed, but continued to resist. Officers strapped Pearson to a gurney, face down, and took him to an ambulance. He stopped breathing, and was pronounced dead at Medical City Hospital.
