Here’s What You Need to Know
About Elijah McClain’s Death
Mr. McClain died days
after he
was detained by the police in August 2019.
His death has come to occupy a
central place
in Colorado’s fast-moving debate
over police reform.

Elijah McClain 1996-2019
He was a 23 year-old Black man
who was walking home in
Aurora,
Colo.,
on the night of Aug. 24, 2019.
He had on headphones, to hear
music,
and wore a ski mask,
as his family
said he often did
- he was anemic and got cold
easily.
But someone said he "looked
sketchy"
and called 911.
He committed no crime;
and wasn't
arrested.
But police officers placed
Elijah McClain him in a carotid
hold,
which stops blood to the brain,
and injected him with ketamine,
a
strong sedative.
He went into cardiac arrest
on the
way to the hospital,
and died a few days later.
It is hard to hear
on the body-cam video what he told
police.
"I am an introvert. ...
Please respect the boundaries
that
I am speaking.
...Leave me alone."
What was all at once heart-rending
and warming
to recall this week
was what family and friends said
about this young man
who seemed an incandescent spirit,
who danced at work and played music
for animals.
