City of Raleigh to release report on man who died while in police custody after being electroshocked

This story will be updated on the Monday following the release of the report.

On Monday, the city of Raleigh will release a report with more information about the death of a 32-year-old man who died while in police custody after being tasered.

Darryl “Tyree” Williams died after police officers tased him on January 17 in front of the Supreme Sweepstakes on Rock Quarry Road near Martin Luther King Jr. around 2 am.

According to police chief Estella Patterson, the police were on patrol when they spotted the suspicious vehicle. Six officers were sent on administrative leave, which is the protocol after death in custody.

What do we know about the January 17 incident?

The Raleigh Police Department released little information about the incident, including Williams’ name, which was confirmed by the family.

The names of the officers involved in the incident have also not been officially released, but are expected to be in the 5-day report.

At a press conference last week, Patterson told reporters that “a decision has been made to make an arrest” on Tuesday morning.

“The theme came from the officers. At this time, law enforcement officers tried to detain the man. They resisted, and a stun gun was used on them,” she said.

After being electrocuted and handcuffed, Williams became unresponsive and officers took “life-saving measures”, according to Patterson.

Williams was taken to the hospital, where they later died.

Questions about the incident and Williams’ death remain with his friends and family, who do not believe he would have resisted arrest.

During Thursday night’s vigil, Williams’ family, friends and supporters gathered in the Supreme Sweepstakes parking lot to call for justice and remember Williams, who was known to be a good man who cared about his family.

As per their instructions, the Raleigh cops are instructed not to use a stun gun when a person is running away from them.

The taser works to temporarily paralyze a person with 50,000 volts of electricity.

Despite being used as a non-lethal weapon, more than 1,000 people have died after being electrocuted in the United States, according to several media reports.
