On 09/07/2021, police responded to a report of gunshots and a possible burglary at a residence on 19th Street and Dakota Avenue.

He left the gun inside and exhibited odd movements, and may have been intoxicated. Police placed the man in handcuffs, and while being escorted to the police car, he collapsed and died. The cause of death was ruled to be asphyxiation during the restraint, but police did not explain how this happened to an unarmed man during arrest.
