PART 2 OF 3

On August 24th, 2019, a healthy 23 year old 5’6” and 140 pound African American man just starting his adult life named  Elijah McClain was apprehended and detained by police in Aurora, Colorado after a phone call was made to police by a concerned community member about a man walking on the street while looking suspicious wearing a ski mask. 

And it’s just days later when Elijah McClain is declared dead.

This is the controversial case of the alleged wrongful death of Elijah McClain- and how this case forced law enforcement to review their protocols and policies to prevent subsequent deaths- and how the court system acknowledged that there was enough evidence in the wrongful handling of Elijah McClain to bring the first responders to court on charges of criminal manslaughter.
