How they died
Less-than-lethal force
McKelvey was intercepted by county police at a small-town convenience store on a Sunday night, acting in an erratic way and beginning to run into street traffic. McKelvey, well known to the police, resisted and struggled with the officers. He was reportedly tased many times by officers. Shortly after apprehension but before he was taken to jail he suffered an unknown medical emergency and stopped breathing.
