How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Jerome Gill died about an hour after he was tasered and arrested for allegedly selling drugs to an undercover officer during a sting operation. At about 12:30 p.m., police said they were about to apprehend Gill, but he fled and resisted arrest. According to police, officers fired a Taser at Gill, but it didn't appear to have an effect. Gill was eventually subdued and then reportedly began spitting up pieces of crack cocaine that he may have ingested. Gill died at a hospital.
