Benjamin E. Chase

Age :21

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 05/08/2022

Location : Unknown

City : Excelsior Springs

County : Clay

State : Missouri

Agency : Excelsior Springs PD

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Overdose

Event : Killed by police during arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Excelsior Springs Police officers arrested Chase after a brief foot chase. They allege that Chase charged at the officers. An officer fired a Taser. Chase refused further treatment, and officers transported him to the jail at the Excelsior Springs Police Department, where he was placed on a 48-hour hold. ESPD staff found him unresponsive in his cell at 3:01 p.m. May 8 and called an ambulance. Paramedics pronounced Chase dead at the scene. Chase’s cause of death was reportedly methamphetamine intoxication and his manner of death was ruled an accident. The family’s lawyer strongly disputes the police narrative, pointing out that he died more than 24 hours after arrest, making it virtually impossible for his death to have been the very late sudden result of a drug overdose due to the length of time he had been in custody before he died. His cause of death was suspected to be due to the Taser or other injury.

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

St. Louis police chased a teenager at high speed into a crash with a minivan, killing 5 of 7 family members. Some controversy ensued because the vehicle had been driving 82 mph when police placed spike strips and 29 seconds after hitting the spike strips, the teenager lost control over the allegedly stolen Jeep and crashed. The dead include mom Angelique Simmons, her daughter Rhonda Simmons, two uncles Luther Simmons, and 11-year-old niece Takara Thompson.
