How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police got a call at 12:51 a.m. saying Chaverra-Bonilla was streaking outside his home. Several neighbors said he had been drinking and behaving strangely in the hours before police were called. When Dover officers Anthony Smith, Michael Thiel and Timothy Thiel arrived, Chaverra-Bonilla was running around naked in front of the residence, sweating profusely. Chaverra-Bonilla struggled to get away as the officers tried to handcuff him. When they got his hands cuffed behind his back, "he immediately went limp," and died, police said.
