Colorado police and paramedics who stopped and treated Elijah McClain made a series of crucial errors that ended in the young man's 2019 death, findings of an independent probe revealed. McClain was stopped on Aug. 24, 2019 in Aurora by officers answering a call reporting a suspicious person in the area.
The initial stop of McClain was questionable, as "none of the officers articulated a crime that they thought Mr. McClain had committed, was committing or was about to commit," the report found.
