Paramedics on trial for death of Elijah McClain | Scripps News Investigates

Jeremy Cooper and Pete Cichuniec both pleaded not guilty to criminally negligent homicide, manslaughter, and assault charges in connection with Elijah McClain’s death in Aurora, Colorado.

McClain, 23, was walking home from his neighborhood convenience store in August 2019 – wearing a black ski mask – when he was confronted by three Aurora police officers who were responding to a 911 call in which the caller described McClain as looking “sketchy.”

After a rough police altercation, the pair of Colorado paramedics sedated McClain with ketamine. According to an amended autopsy, McClain died of complications of ketamine administration following the forcible restraint.
