| dbo:abstract | Elijah Jovan McClain (February 25, 1996 – August 30, 2019) was a 23-year-old African-American massage therapist from Aurora, Colorado, who died six days after a violent police encounter, during which he was injected with ketamine by paramedics to sedate him. On August 24, 2019, three Aurora Police officers confronted McClain after responding to a call by an Aurora civilian about an unarmed person wearing a ski mask that looked "sketchy". The three police officers who were involved in the incident, Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt and Randy Roedema, all said that their body cameras were knocked off during a struggle with McClain. McClain was forcibly held to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, after which paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec administered ketamine to McClain to sedate him. While on scene McClain went into cardiac arrest. Three days after arriving at the hospital, he was declared brain dead, and was removed from life support on August 30. McClain's original autopsy report was inconclusive and the cause of death was listed as undetermined by the coroner. Aurora Police officers met with the coroner before his announcement, and police investigators were also present during the autopsy. In September 2022, the autopsy report was amended to list the cause of death as "complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint", but the manner of death was still listed as "undetermined" rather than "homicide". On June 24, 2020, after a social media outcry and Aurora lawmakers' requests for a new, third-party investigation into McClain's death, Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced his administration would reexamine the case. Five days later, photos that were taken in October 2019 which showed officers posing inappropriately and reenacting the carotid restraint used on McClain, taken at the site he was detained, were discovered. One officer resigned and three were fired. In February 2021, an investigative report ordered by the City Council was released. The report said that the police officers involved in McClain's death did not have the legal basis to stop, restrain, or frisk him. The report questioned the police officers' statements, criticized the medical responders' decision to inject McClain with a sedative, and admonished the police department for failing to do a serious questioning of the officers following McClain's death. In September 2021, the three police officers (Woodyard, Rosenblatt and Roedema) and two paramedics (Cooper and Cichuniec) were arrested and charged through a Colorado grand jury with manslaughter and other lesser charges for the death of Elijah McClain. As of October 2022, all five of them were still free on bond awaiting trial.

Un cittadino di Aurora aveva segnalato alla polizia che McClain si stava comportando in modo sospetto indossando una maschera da sci. La stessa persona aveva però anche indicato che non credeva che qualcuno fosse in pericolo e che pensava che McClain fosse disarmato. I tre poliziotti dichiararono che le loro andarono fuori uso durante una colluttazione con McClain ma le riprese della telecamera di almeno un ufficiale dimostrano che l'affermazione era falsa. La registrazione mostra come all'agente fu chiesto di allontanare la telecamera dall'immagine di McClain che stava vomitando. Mentre i poliziotti lo tenevano a terra, i paramedici somministrarono ketamina a McClain per sedarlo, ma andò in arresto cardiaco morendo 7 giorni dopo, staccato dal respiratore. L'autopsia di McClain non portò a conclusioni certe. Il 24 giugno 2020, dopo le proteste sui social media e le richieste dei legislatori di Aurora di una nuova indagine di terze parti sull'uccisione di McClain, il governatore del Colorado Jared Polis ha annunciato che la sua amministrazione avrebbe riesaminato il caso.
