Wayside Drive, Houston, Harris County, Texas, 77082, for a traffic violation and two felony arrest warrants. Corona evaded the arrest on a bicycle for approximately one mile before dismounting from the bike and running on foot. Two officers pursued Corona into a residential neighborhood. This incident is documented under HPD Case #418656-26 and the officer’s body worn cameras (BWC) recorded the actions. While running after Corona on foot, one of the officers gave verbal commands, advising Corona to stop. The officer recalled observing Corona slow down and Corona then used his right hand to reach into his right pocket. At that time, approximately 0043 hours, the officer discharged his department issue conducted energy device (CED), at Corona, striking Corona with two darts. One dart attached to a backpack Corona was Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- carrying and the second dart struck Corona in the left lower leg. Corona fell to the ground in a grassy area in front of a residential home at 2706 Delafield Street, Houston, Harris County, Texas, 77023. Corona did not appear to strike any object during the fall. While still on the ground, the officer handcuffed Corona behind his back, using two sets of handcuffs linked together, which provided less resistance. At 0045 hours, Corona displayed signs of having a seizure. The officer immediately placed Corona on his side, in what is referred to as the recovery position, to keep Corona’s airway clear and open. The Houston Fire Department (HFD) and HPD supervisor was notified to the scene. At approximately 0058 hours, Corona was conscious and began yelling and kicking the officers. At this time, an officer attempted to hold Corona’s legs down as Corona was kicking. At the same time. Another officer was attempting to control Corona’s upper body. At approximately 0100 hours, an HPD supervisor arrived on scene to assist the officers. The supervisor along with one of the officers then lifted Corona from the ground and place Corona in an upright seated position on a couch that was in the front yard. Corona remained sitting until HFD arrived to assess him at 0105. HFD EMS immediately transported Corona to the Ben Taub Hospital at which time he was admitted for care. At that time, Dr. Silas Henderson advised that Corona was in critical condition and experiencing hypertension and was under assisted breathing. HPD Officers were assigned to the Ben Taub Hospital to watch over Corona while he was being treated. HPD officers remained outside of the room and Corona was not handcuffed or retrained while receiving care. At 1237pm, Ben Taub Hospital Staff informed HPD Officers that Corona was pronounced deceased by Dr. Mitchell. Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
