How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police were dispatched to the area because they received a tip that Dove and other men were using drugs. Dove was with four other men when officers arrived. Police said they told the men to leave and all but Dove obeyed. Dove became confrontational and threw a punch at an officer, Patrick McGovern, a 21-year veteran of the department. Officers struggled with Dove for several minutes before they used a Taser twice in an effort to restrain him. He died a short time later.
