How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Christopher Hicks lost consciousness as one officer held him in a chokehold while two others handcuffed him. Police said they saw Hicks moving between cars inside a northbound Red Line train at around 10:20 p.m. Hicks fled the train as officers approached him. The officers chased Hicks, who allegedly became combative when they tried to arrest him. According to an autopsy, Hicks died of asphyxia due to restraint in a homicide.
