Federal authorities are reviewing whether a civil rights investigation is warranted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who died after Colorado police put him in a choke hold. Authorities are also examining reports that multiple police officers in the city of Aurora were placed on administrative leave because of allegations that photos showed them near the site where McClain died.
In a joint statement, the Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the Denver FBI office said they made the unusual disclosures about the investigations because of recent attention to McClain’s Aug. 24 death.
Three officers involved in the case have been moved to non-enforcement duties.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis appointed a special prosecutor last week to investigate after the local district declined to file charges against the officers involved in McClain’s arrest.
