Aurora city officials on Monday morning released the 157-page report from the independent investigation into the death of Elijah McClain following a violent encounter with city police and sedation by paramedics.
The investigation found hat Aurora police officers did not have a legal basis to force McClain to stop walking, to frisk him or to use a chokehold on him.
The city hired a panel of investigators to examine the officers’ and paramedics’ decisions and make policy recommendations “to lessen the chance of another tragedy like this one from happening again,” the report states.
