Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police after killing officer

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 04/20/2024, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Ada County Sheriff's Deputy Tobin Bolter conducted a traffic stop near W. Overland Road and S. Raymond Street in Boise. As Deputy Bolter approached the vehicle, the driver, identified as 65-year-old Dennis Mulqueen, shot him through the driver's side window. Mulqueen then fled the scene. Responding officers located Mulqueen's abandoned vehicle near S. Dorian Street and W. Roosevelt Street. A perimeter was established, and after an hour of failed negotiations, the Boise Police Department's Special Operations Unit advanced on Mulqueen's position. Mulqueen fired at the officers, striking a tactical shield. Detective Josh Sontag returned fire, hitting Mulqueen twice. Mulqueen was transported to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the incident and determined that Detective Sontag's use of deadly force was justified under Idaho law.

Age :53

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 04/19/2024

Location : 1700 block of Sherrick Road Southeast

City : Canton

County : Stark

State : Ohio

Agency : Canton Police Department

Officer(s) : Beau Schoenegge, Camden Burch

Cause of Death : Asphyxiation

Event : Died during arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Frank E. Tyson crashed his vehicle, ran from the crash site, was stopped by police and a violent arrest ensued. He died during arrest. Ben Crump representing the family likened the arrest to George Floyd and Eric Garner, stating he had been face down and telling police he could not breathe and was not helped. Crump pointed out that on bodycam, Tyson can be heard telling an officer that he cannot breathe and the officer replied: "You're fine. Shut the fuck up." As he gasps for air and repeats "I can't breathe.", one officer's knee is seen on his neck while others push him down. Tyson also asks "get off my neck." Bodycam documents 8 minutes going by before CPR was given. On August 13, 2024, it was ruled that his death was a homicide. Autopsy had shown that alcohol and cocaine were in his system and that he had died of cardiac arrest. This court case likely will focus heavily on positional asphyxiation during arrest, a common cause of death during forcible arrests when a person is held face-down for prolonged periods and cannot breathe. Frank Tyson had repeatedly told police that he could not breathe but instead of repositioning him, they told him to "shut the fuck up."
