An autopsy report has ruled that Manuel Ellis' death was a homicide. Ellis, a 33-year-old black man, died in police custody in March in Tacoma, Wash. He called out 'can't breathe' as he was being restrained by officers.
"Someone bring some hobbles," an officer says in another portion, asking for physical restraints. Later, an officer calls for an ambulance and adds,"He's going to have to be strapped down."
When reached for comment Thursday, the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said that it"has not yet received this case," saying the independent investigation is ongoing.News of the medical examiner's homicide ruling, Woodards said, was personally troubling for her, as an African-American woman.
"We don't know a lot" about the details of that night, the mayor said."But what we do know, and what we have heard, is deeply troubling to us."
