Five individuals, including two police officers and two paramedics, have pleaded not guilty to charges related to the death of Elijah McClain in Aurora, Colorado in 2019. The charges stem from an incident in August 2019, when a 911 caller reported a man who seemed “sketchy” and the responding officers placed McClain in a chokehold and paramedics injected him with a powerful sedative. An amended autopsy report concluded that McClain would have most likely survived but for the administration of a dose of ketamine. The five individuals will be tried in three separate trials later this year.
