CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Six Mexican officers have been placed under house arrest after an American man died while in custody in the resort city of San Jose del Cabo, a prosecutor said Monday.
Baja California Sur state deputy prosecutor Omar Barajas identified the victim as a 38-year-old from Oregon, but the U.S. Embassy could not confirm his name or hometown.
The man was arrested Wednesday after he was involved in a fight at an apartment complex and died in jail hours later, Barajas said. Surveillance video and witness statements indicate that officers struck the victim, he said.
