All eyes are on an Aurora courtroom for the Elijah McClain case that went on trial last week. Mclain, a 23-year-old Black man, died four years ago during a violent encounter with Aurora police and paramedics. His death has had major reverberations in Colorado and far beyond.

Elijah McClain's mother left a Colorado courtroom in tears as prosecutors showed jurors disturbing video footage of the 2019 confrontation with police in a Denver suburb that led to McClain's death. The 23-year-old Black man died after being put in a neck hold by officers and injected by paramedics with a powerful sedative. Two Aurora officers are under trial for manslaughter and other felony charges in McClain's death.

Colorado prosecutors are focusing on police body camera footage — both raw and digitally enhanced — as they build their case against two officers charged in the death of Elijah McClain. The officers in the Denver suburb of Aurora put the 23-year-old Black man in a neck hold in 2019. He was sedated by paramedics and later died. Attorneys for the officers say their actions were in line with police policies. The defense raised numerous objections Thursday to the digitally enhanced videos, but the judge indicated he would let jurors see them. McClain's death has been raised up by protesters as a searing example of excessive force against Black people.

Prosecutors are set to call their first witnesses in the trial of two Denver-area police officers charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. The Black man was put in a neck hold by officers and injected by paramedics with a powerful sedative in a case that spurred police reform in Colorado.

A trial is opening soon against two police officers charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. The Black man was put in a neck hold and injected with the powerful sedative ketamine while walking home in a Denver suburb.

Four years after Elijah McClain died after being stopped by police in Colorado, two of the police officers charged in his death are set to go on trial. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Friday in the trial of Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt on manslaughter, criminally negligent reckless homicide and assault charges. They have pleaded not guilty.

A group of police officers and paramedics have pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the role they are accused of playing in the death of a 23-year-old Black man who was forcibly restrained and injected with a powerful sedative called ketamine.

A Black man died after a police encounter in a Denver suburb in 2019 because he was injected with a powerful sedative after being forcibly restrained. According to an amended autopsy report publicly released Friday, Elijah McClain death is still listed as undetermined.

In the past decade, Northern Colorado’s largest cities settled 205 allegations against police. The cost of those settlements was $50 million, roughly enough to fund a police department the size of Boulder’s for a year. That’s according to a KUNC investigation that found a recurring pattern where victims and their families dropped their allegations in exchange for a cash payout.

A panel of Colorado medical experts has determined a condition called excited delirium is linked to implicit bias and racism. The finding is part of a report released Wednesday that recommends ways to rein in paramedics’ use of a powerful drug, ketamine, to sedate people, often in situations involving police.
