Gov. Jared Polis ordered a re-investigation of the death of Elijah McClain, a Black man put into a chokehold by suburban Denver police.
In his final months before he was killed by police outside a Wendy’s restaurant in Atlanta, Rayshard Brooks didn’t hide his history.
“Ultimately, while I may share the vast public opinion that Elijah McClain’s death could have been avoided, it is not my role to file criminal charges based on opinion but, rather, on the evidence revealed from the investigation and applicable Colorado law,” Young said shortly before Polis ordered the investigation reopened.
