The KSL Investigators examine deaths of Utahns who died after being pinned facedown in police custody.
"It's not as easy as, 'Somebody fired a gun and somebody got shot and got killed,'" Gill said. "It's, 'OK, what kind of force was used? What were the conditions? Were there pre-existing medical conditions that contributed to that?'"
Body camera video shows an unarmed Brandon reach for an officer's gun and struggle with police before they hold him facedown on the ground for three minutes and 40 seconds. He's handcuffed during that time, and after he stops groaning, police begin to turn him on his side.Also last summer, Gill began investigating the death of Mohn after Utah's medical examiner ruled her January 2022 death a homicide.
In April, Gill announced he would not file criminal charges in another case involving prone restraint., 52, died of natural causes after he took off running from a traffic stop and was held prone by Murray police on April 8, 2022, for just seconds, telling them, "I can't breathe," before officers turned him on his side and later sit him up. Within four minutes, he appears unresponsive.
Utah's police academy trains officers to do just that. Utah's Peace Officer Standards and Training hasn't updated its curriculum in the year since KSL Investigators asked them about best practices for officers using prone restraint, but a POST spokesperson told us cadets now spend more time learning about prone restraint than in the past.
