Officer Ealy-Thomas was the first to arrive, and shocked Garza with his Taser after Garza got up off the ground and displayed an 11-inch kitchen knife.

Officers asked paramedics to check on Garza's physical condition. He had a high fever and diffictulty breathing and died in the hosptial. An autopsy found that Gaza died from accute methamphetamine intoxication.
