Elijah McClain
Elijah McClain was a 23 years old Black American.
In 2019, 3 police officers confronted McClain after they received a report about an unarmed person that looked “sketchy”
because he was wearing a ski mask.
McClain was held to the ground and was hand-cuffed.
Paramedics administered ketamine to Elijah sedate him.
He went into a cardiac arrest.
3 days after arriving at the hospital, they declared him brain dead.
He was removed from life support a few days after that.
